Mireuk-sa temple
Mireuk-sa temple submitted by Aska : Uninstalled fragments of the western pagoda (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Temple in South Korea The greatest Buddhist temple (350,000 square m) ruin, built in 639 CE and ruined in the 16th or 17th century. It is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Baekje Historic Areas. Once it consisted of 3 pagodas forming a line, and accompanying 3 halls and surrounding double cloisters. Now the central wooden pagoda was lost, the eastern stone pagoda is newly constructed and the western stone pagoda, which was badly reconstructed with concrete by Japanese archaeologists in 1915 during the Japanese annexation era, has been reconstructed after 20 years of deliberate operation, but the shape is still distorted and many uninstalled parts are rolling aside, like the fragments of Neungji-tap.

in English

At the every corners of the western pagoda, there stand strange statuettes (actually, only 3 of them have survived, so new replica was augmented to complete after the reconstruction of the pagoda. Some Japanese scholars suspect that these figures might have something to do with the Saruishi (monkey stones) in Asuka village, Japan. But the expression of Mireuk-sa monkeys is naive and simple, rather resemble to the ones in Shimabara peninsula.

A museum attached.

Rough replicas are placed in the garden of Asuka Shiryōkan museum Japan.
