Bunhwangsa is a Buddhist temple in Gyeongju founded in 634 under Queen Seondeok of Silla and still in use. Its stone pagoda, built of black andesite cut like bricks, keeps three of its storeys, with guardian figures carved beside its doorways and stone lions at the corners of its base. It lies next to the Hwangnyongsa temple site.
Bulguksa is a Buddhist temple on the slopes of Tohamsan, southeast of central Gyeongju, begun in 751 under King Gyeongdeok and completed in 774. Stone stairways called the Blue Cloud and White Cloud bridges lead up to the Jahamun gate, and the courtyard beyond holds the Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas. With Seokguram it has been a World Heritage Site since 1995.
Seokguram is a granite grotto hermitage high on Tohamsan in Gyeongju, about 3 km above Bulguksa, begun in 751 and finished by the Silla court in 774. An antechamber and a corridor lead into a domed rotunda built from more than 360 stone slabs, where a large seated Buddha looks out towards the East Sea. It became a World Heritage Site with Bulguksa in 1995.
