Daqin Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Zhouzhi County, China.

The seven-story octagonal brick pagoda stands 38.6 meters tall with a base perimeter of 44 meters at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.

The structure originated in 650 CE as part of a Nestorian Christian monastery before transitioning into a Buddhist temple during the Tang Dynasty.

The pagoda contains religious sculptures and ancient Syriac inscriptions that demonstrate the exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations during medieval times.

Located 20 kilometers southeast of Zhouzhi County, the pagoda features internal chambers and wooden staircases connecting multiple levels.

The pagoda displays architectural elements from both Chinese and Near Eastern traditions, including brick-built brackets and shifted central axis design.
