Why go

Yeoju Godalsa Temple Site is the archaeological remains of an ancient Buddhist temple in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do, with founding tradition that traces back to the Goryeo period. The site preserves several significant Buddhist art-and-architecture remains designated as Treasures of South Korea, including stone pagodas, stone lanterns, and the famous Wonjong Daesa Hyejin Stupa (one of Korea's most architecturally significant Buddhist stupas, designated as Treasure). The site is one of Korea's most-cited Goryeo-era temple-site archaeological destinations, particularly for its surviving stone Buddhist art. Best for travelers seriously interested in Korean Buddhist art-and-architecture and Goryeo-era heritage, paired with broader Yeoju-area itineraries.
