Ssanggyesa Temple stands on the southern slopes of Jirisan Mountain. It was founded in 723, the twenty-third year of Unified Silla's King Seongdeok, by Sambeop, a disciple of the great monk Uisang. It was first called Okcheonsa Temple, and was renamed Ssanggyesa during the reign of King Jeonggang of Unified Silla.
