Daereungwon is a park in central Gyeongju holding 23 grassy burial mounds of Silla kings, queens and nobles. Paths wind between the tumuli, and Cheonmachong, excavated in 1973 and named after a flying horse painted on a birch-bark saddle flap found inside, is the one tomb open to visitors. The tombs have yielded gold crowns and other National Treasures.
Cheomseongdae is a stone astronomical observatory in central Gyeongju, built during the reign of Queen Seondeok of Silla (632–647). Its bottle-shaped tower of cut granite blocks stands on a square base, has a window opening halfway up and ends in a square frame of stone beams. It is a National Treasure and part of the Gyeongju Historic Areas World Heritage Site.
Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond are the remains of a Silla palace in central Gyeongju, built under King Munmu in 674 beside an artificial pond with three small islands, long known as Anapji. Several pavilions have been rebuilt on their old foundations at the water's edge, and excavations from 1975 to 1986 recovered some 33,000 objects from the pond.
