“My family has
been living in Gyeongju for ten years now, a place filled with
mysterious remains from the past. Daereungwon is a complex of about 20
royal tombs from the Silla period (57 BC–935 AD), and among them,
entering Cheonmachong (Tomb of the Heavenly Horse) is a truly special
experience.
From the relics discovered there, including a golden crown, you can
imagine the splendor of Silla.”

A city that cherishes the history and culture of the 1,000-year-old Silla Kingdom.
Inscribed on the UNESCO
World Heritage List as “Gyeongju Historic Areas,” Gyeongju was the
capital of Silla (57 BC – 935 AD) for almost 1,000 years since the
founding of the kingdom. Many historical remains and relics are
clustered here. The Mt. Namsan District is filled with Buddhist
treasures, the Wolseong District was the site of a Silla palace, the
Daereungwon District houses many royal tombs, the Hwangnyongsa District
was the site of the famous Hwangnyongsa Temple, and the Sanseong
Fortress District was important for the defense of the royal capital. To
this very day, the city of Gyeongju cherishes such millennial
treasures.
