< Seongnamsa temple,>
The temple, Seongnamsa, is assumed to be founded by Monk Douiguksa in 824(the 16th year of King Heondeok's reign of the Unified Silla period). A stupa is a pagoda in which to attend on a noted monk's ashes.
This 3.53 meters high octagonal stupa is said to contain the sarira of Monk Douiguksa. Restored in May 1962, the stupa had a sarira in rectangular form in the upper-central part of the main body.
The carving of the lions, clouds, lotus and door-like designs is outstanding as are the guardian figures. The stupa is considered to be one of the best from the late Silla period.
