A large-scale temple site of Baekje located in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, said to have been founded by King Mu of Baekje. The stone pagoda here is the earliest and largest among the surviving stone pagodas of Korea, making it a precious artifact that shows the process of transition from wooden pagodas to stone pagodas. A distinctive monastery layout, comprising three pagodas and main halls, has been confirmed. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Baekje Historic Areas.
