Gyeongju: the museum without walls

Gyeongju is a historical site. Silla Kingdom antiquities are preserved in the city! UNESCO designated the entire city as a global cultural heritage site due to its historical and cultural richness.

Bulguksa Temple is one of the most famous landmarks. The temple has undergone multiple reconstructions as a result of prior war damage, but it remains magnificent. The Buddhist temple is organized into three sections, each representing a different part of Buddha's homeland. The two pagodas, Seokgatap and Dabotap, are must-see structures, displaying exquisite Silla Kingdom artwork.

The Seokguram Grotto has been classified as the country's 24th UNESCO World Heritage Site. This man-made granite cave, located on the Tohamsan mountain, has an outstanding Buddha statue that faces the horizon. It's an enigmatic location. A stunning carving wall surrounds this work of art.
