Relic

Pagodas were first erected in East Asia after the arrival of Buddhism. Chinese Buddhists usually built brick pagodas, while those in Japan and Korea erected wooden and stone pagodas, respectively. Most Korean stone pagodas were made from granite, but this massive ten-story pagoda is the first one known to be made from marble. It once stood on the grounds of Gyeongcheonsa Temple, located at the foot of Mt. Buso in Gwangdeok-myeon, Gaepung-gun, Gyeonggi-do Province. This pagoda is also extraordinary in terms of its form, which is much more complex than most other pagodas. Its shape is very unusual, with a three-tier base, a complex polygonal shape for the lower part (from the first to the third tier), and a square upper part. The base and the main body are elaborately decorated with carvings of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and floral designs, and there is an inscription engraved on the body of the first story, stating that the pagoda was built in 1348 (4th year of Goryeo King Chungmok).
