The Paro Dzong from northern side

The Paro Dzong, also called Rinpung Dzong, was started in 1644 on the order of Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the unifier of modern day Bhutan. Unlike most of the other dzongs in Bhutan, it survived the massive 1897 earthquake mostly unscathed, though it was damaged by fire in 1907.
Some scenes in the 1993 film Little Buddha, by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, were filmed in this Dzong.
