Gyeongju was the capital of the Silla kingdom (57 BCE–935 CE), and its ancient name was Seorabeol, which means “Capital.” Gyeongju plain, surrounded by a double range of hills and mountains, formed a natural fortress for the city. Gyeongju has hundreds of ancient historical remains such as temples, stone pagodas, imperial mausoleums, mounds, and castle sites; collectively, these were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000. The city’s national museum is one of the country’s finest, containing many treasures of the Silla kingdom
For a thousand years, the royal city of Gyeongju was the capital of the Silla Kingdom in central Korea. From the first to the tenth centuries, Gyeongju reigned as the spiritual, cultural, and political heart of the Korean peninsula, a city of immense wealth and power. Burial mounds, temple sites, rock sculptures, and the ruins of fortresses and pagodas fill the city and surrounding area. Gyeongju’s beauty is enhanced by the fact that it is far less congested than many cities in Korea, with tree-lined streets and colorful flowers. No where else does the spirit of ancient Korea seem as vibrant and immediate, making it one of the most visited destinations in the country
