摘要：Having spent over ten years of my research exploring Ladakh in search of historical remains, I can testify that there are ruins of all sorts scattered throughout the landscape of this country, among them, many and diverse remains of buildings of a defensive type. The sites, for the greater part attributable to the medieval period, are mainly located on almost inaccessible rocky outcrops that sometimes really challenge the extravagances of the surrounding terrain. I find them particularly attractive, since despite the years that have gone past since they were last in use, they retain their strong evocative power.
