Bunhwangsa, Buddhist temple in Wolseong-dong, South Korea
Three remaining tiers of the temple's stone pagoda showcase architectural techniques using carved black andesite bricks in a staircase pattern.
Queen Seondeok commissioned the construction of Bunhwangsa in 634, establishing it as one of the four principal temples of the Silla Kingdom.
The temple features guardian lion statues at each corner of the pagoda platform and Geumgan-yeoksa figures protecting the doorways.
Visitors can access the temple between 09:00 and 18:00, with admission fees ranging from 800 won for children to 1,300 won for adults.
Excavations in 1915 revealed a hidden relic box containing cremated remains of a priest between the second and third stories of the pagoda.
