Gyeongju Historic Areas, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gyeongju, South Korea.
The Gyeongju Historic Areas contain Buddhist temples, palace ruins, pagodas, and stone sculptures across five distinct zones covering 2,880 hectares of land.
The site served as the capital of the Silla Kingdom for nearly 1,000 years, featuring the Cheomseongdae Observatory, the oldest astronomical structure in East Asia.
The Mount Namsan belt exhibits 122 temple ruins, 53 stone statues, and 64 stone pagodas that demonstrate the fusion of Buddhist and Shamanistic traditions.
The five main belts of Wolseong, Tumuli Park, Hwangnyongsa, Mount Namsan, and Sanseong connect through regular bus services and guided walking paths.
The Tumuli Park contains royal tomb mounds where excavations revealed wooden coffins with precious artifacts including gold items, glass objects, and ancient ceramics.
