[K-Geography] Three Story Stone Pagoda of Sungboksa Temple Site

The Sungboksa Temple, located at the foot of Toham Mountain in the east of Gyeongju, the ancient capital of Silla, was built in memory of King Wonseong(r.758~798) of the Unified Silla Kingdom. The temple was ruined a long time ago, and only these twin pagodas remain there to show the prosperous days. The eastern pagoda is 4.3m tall and the western pagoda 3.2m tall.
