Wanggung-ri, Archaeological site and park in Iksan-si, South Korea.
The Wanggung-ri archaeological site covers remains of a royal palace with stone walls measuring 490 meters long and featuring elevated building platforms.
Built during the Baekje Kingdom period, this second royal palace transformed into a Buddhist temple after the kingdom's fall in the 7th century.
Archaeological excavations between 1989 and 2013 revealed 9,000 artifacts including glass, gold, pottery, and celadon pieces that demonstrate advanced craftsmanship.
The site includes an on-site museum opened in 2008 that displays archaeological findings and receives over 470,000 visitors annually.
A five-story stone pagoda measuring 8.5 meters contains Buddhist relics and Diamond Sutra plates from the Goryeo Dynasty period.
