THREE BAERI BUDDHAS
Columns and statues to see
Read moreAbove the Sambulsa and Mangwolsa temples there are three statues, standing upright, which were discovered by chance in the mountain in 1923 and later transported to this place. They are a Buddha flanked by two bodhisattvas, and their style is more reminiscent of the statues found under Goguryeo. These three statues, which must date from the 4th or 5th century and whose origin is unknown, are among the oldest in the country. Even if what is mysterious always intrigues us, it is not a must in the city.
