Summary[edit]
DescriptionAsl9.jpg |
A model reconstruction of Gyeongju's greatest non-sight. This temple was constructed between 553 and 644; originally intended to be a palace, the site was changed to a Buddhist temple instead when the king saw a yellow dragon in his sleep (hence the name, "Yellow Dragon Temple" or "Imperial Dragon Temple"). The nine-story wooden pagoda was a later addition, and is thought to be the tallest pagoda ever built in Korea, standing probably about 68 meters high. Sadly, the temple was destroyed in 1238 during the Mongolian invasions, and never rebuilt. Excavations of the site started in 1976 and are still ongoing# The temple site is located just southeast of the National Museum. |
