Beautiful View of Bunhwangsa Temple

#falltrip Bunhwangsa Temple, was built in 634. There is a three-tiered pagoda (National Treasure No.30), though it is presumed that it was originally seven or nine stories. Pats of the pagoda collapsed over time, and it was renovated in 1915. During the renovation, a stone reliquary was discovered with coins used in Song China. This suggests that it was also renovated at the beginning of the 12th century. Shells from Taiwan and Okinawa were also found on site, showing the reach of the Silla kingdom. The pagoda used to be hollow but now it is filled with the collapsed remains of the other floors.
