I cannot do justice to Bulguksa Temple…

It was originally built it 528 A.D., but expanded (in its current form) in 751 A.D.

It is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is impressive on it’s own right… (there aren’t many American UNESCO World Heritage Sites).

My photos could never convey the importance of this temple.  From what I know (which isn’t much), this temple was THE TEMPLE during (at least part of) the Silla Dynasty.

So, I’ll let the photos do what they will… although I was not allowed to take pictures at any of the actual temples (i.e., the Buddhas).
