Gyeongcheonsa Pagoda, Stone pagoda at National Museum of Korea, Seoul, South Korea.

The ten-story marble pagoda reaches 13.5 meters in height and features three foundation tiers that extend in four directions like a cross shape.

Built in 1348 during King Chungmok's reign, the pagoda was taken to Japan in 1907 and returned to Korea in 1918 after international pressure.

The structure displays elaborate carvings of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and floral patterns on each level, representing Buddhist artistic traditions of the Goryeo period.

The pagoda stands in the Path to History section of the National Museum of Korea, following extensive restoration work completed in 2005.

Unlike traditional Korean pagodas constructed from granite, this structure uses marble and incorporates design elements that mirror wooden architecture techniques.
