Set in a hilly surrounding with pine trees, the temple complex of Bulguksa is proof of the advanced development of the Silla era with its temples, wood painting, bell, and other delicate pieces of art.
Bulguksa literally means the Temple of the Buddha Land, and was constructed in the heyday of the Silla culture, in the middle of the 8th century. In its long existence, it was destroyed, restored and expanded several times. What is especially notable is the fine paintwork under the roofs of the temples, the bright colours, the serene atmosphere despite the fact that this is one of the major tourist sights in the country. Even with groups of school children running around, staring and waving at the odd foreigner, there is an unmistakeable peaceful air around the temples and courtyards of Bulguksa.
