The Restored East Pagoda

From the presumed site of the east pagoda, only the stones of the pagoda were found. The pagoda you see here was restored in the early 1990s.

Let’s take a look at the structure of the restored pagoda. Notice the center of the lowest portion. Stairs that go up the pagoda are installed on all four sides. Another unique feature is that all four sides have doors in the center of 1st floor. Try and enter through the door.

When you see the walls from the inside, you’ll see some parts with different colors. That’s because the original stones discovered from this site were also used in the restoration process. This structure that enables people to enter inside nearly disappeared in Korea, making this one a unique style.

Come out now and pay attention to the sounds. Can you hear the wind bell? You’re right. It’s the duplicate version of the wind bell you saw in the exhibition museum.
