Dabotap

The granite structure combines an octagonal upper section with a square base, featuring detailed stone carvings and ornate architectural elements throughout its design.

Built in the 8th century during the Unified Silla period, Dabotap underwent restoration in 1925 when Japanese authorities dismantled and reconstructed the entire structure.

The pagoda represents the Many Treasures Buddha from the Lotus Sutra, standing opposite to Seokgatap pagoda in front of the main temple hall.

Located within the Bulguksa Temple complex, visitors can access the National Treasure through regular bus services connecting from downtown Gyeongju.

The structure incorporates stone staircases on all four sides and contains circular lamps, with one remaining stone lion statue from the original four.
