Gyeongju Daereungwon Ancient Tomb Complex (경주 대릉원 일원)

Daereungwon Tomb Complex is one of the most consequential Silla heritage sites in Gyeongju — a large cluster of 23 royal Silla tombs from the 4th-6th centuries, with their distinctive grass-covered earthen mounds rising across a single park. The complex includes Cheonmachong (the publicly accessible tomb famous for its painted 'cheonma' saddle flap) and Hwangnamdaechong (one of the largest Silla royal tombs). For travelers visiting Gyeongju, Daereungwon is one of the strongest single anchors — a foundational Silla heritage experience and one of Korea's most photographed historic landscapes.
