Simwonsa Temple Three-story Stone Pagoda

This pagoda stands on the southern slope of Gayasan Mountain and consists of a three-storey body set on a two-tiered base. Pillar shapes are carved on the surfaces of the upper and lower tiers of the base and on the body stones of each storey. The roof stones have corners that curve slightly upward, and their undersides each have four tiers of supports. The pagoda, which had originally collapsed, was newly restored in 1989, and unusually, a sarira reliquary (a receptacle for Buddhist relics) was placed in the ground beneath the base.
