Description
This three-story pagoda stands on a field northwest from Bulguksa Temple and consists of two-story platform and three-story body. The lower and upper platforms are made up of four and eight stone plates, respectively, with pillars carved on the corners and at the middle of both platforms. The body and roofstone on each story are made of a single piece of stone. Each roofstone has a five-layer support, and there are holes for hanging wind bells on the four corners of the roofstone supports. This is one of the stone pagodas without any carving or decoration as was the prevailing trend around the Gyeongsang-do area including Gyeongju. This pagoda is presumed to have been built in the late 8th century; noteworthy is the fact that the location of this pagoda is very close to Bulguksa Temple.
