'''Basgo Monastery''', also known as '''Basgo or Bazgo Gompa''', is a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] monastery located in [[Basgo]] or Bazgo in [[Leh District]], [[Ladakh]], northern [[India]] approximately 40&nbsp;km from [[Leh]].<br />
<br />
Although the monastery was built for the Namgyal rulers in 1680, Bazgo itself was embedded in the early days of Ladakh and is frequently mentioned in the [[Ladakhi Chronicles]] when it was a political and cultural center.<ref name="Temples">{{cite web|url=http://www.india9.com/i9show/Basgo-Monastery-23809.htm|title=Basgo Monastery|publisher=India9.com|access-date=11 October 2009}}</ref> In the 15th century, a palace was built in Basgo. <br />
<br />
The monastery is situated on top of the hill towering over the ruins of the ancient town and is noted for its Buddha statue and murals. The complex comprises the Chamchung, Chamba Lakhang, and Serzang temples, dedicated to the [[Maitreya]] Buddha. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wmf.org/project/basgo-gompa-maitreya-temples|title=World Monuments Fund: Basgo Gompa (Maitreya Temples)|publisher=World Monuments Fund|access-date=2016-12-08}}</ref><br />
