The Anseong Bongeobsa Temple Site is a temple site dating from the Unified Silla through Joseon period, located at a strategically vital point connecting Chungcheong and Gyeonggi provinces, and is a likely candidate to have been the prayer temple (願刹) of Goryeo's founding king. Based on excavation surveys to date, numerous tiles bearing the inscription 'Bongeobsa (奉業寺)' have been excavated, clearly confirming the temple name, and multiple building sites, presumed corridors and walls, stone lantern sites, and drainage ditches have been identified around the main hall site, indicating the historic site is in good condition of preservation. Additionally, the five-story stone pagoda and flagstaff base of Bongeobsa Temple Site are already designated as treasures, indicating the site possesses high value.
