Seonamsa, Buddhist mountain temple in Suncheon-si, South Korea
The temple complex spreads across Jogyesan Mountain, featuring stone pagodas, meditation halls, and traditional Korean architectural elements within natural forest surroundings.
Established between the 7th and 9th centuries, Seonamsa became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site collection of Buddhist mountain monasteries in South Korea.
The temple maintains active Buddhist practices, with resident monks performing daily rituals, meditation sessions, and ceremonial activities throughout the complex.
Visitors reach the temple through a one-kilometer path that leads to the Seungseongyo Bridge, constructed with natural bedrock supports.
The temple grounds contain two three-story stone pagodas positioned in front of Daeungjeon Hall, representing different periods of Korean Buddhist architecture.
