Uiseong Seoktamni
Uiseong Seoktamni submitted by Aska : Site in South Korea (Vote or comment on this photo)
Pyramid in South Korea

10km from the centre of Uiseong (의성) city, at the inner outskirt of the village Seoktam-ni (Soktap-ri) (=stone tower village), this fine 5 layered rock-piled square pyramid stands.

This pyramid has a space for Buddhist statues, like Zutō in Japan, on every side and 2 of them still contain statues. The prove that this is a kind of Buddhist proto-padoda.

Korean people call these kinds of pyramids as 'pangdanhyeong jeokseoktap (방단형적석탑 = square layered stone-piled tower)', 'kedansik jeokseoktap (게단식적석탑 = stairs-styled stone-piled tower)' or 'pangdan jeokseok yugu (방단적석유구 = square layered stone-piled site)'.

At the entrance of Korean villages, there often stand the totem poles called 'changseung (장승)' or the cairns called 'seonangdang (서낭당)', this village has latter one.
