Gyeongju Tower — Attraction in Gyeongju-si

Gyeongju Tower – A Modern Tribute to the Ancient Hwangnyongsa Wooden Pagoda Located in the Gyeongju World Culture Expo Park within the Bomun Tourist Complex, Gyeongju Tower is a striking observation tower designed by Itami Jun, a renowned Korean-Japanese architect. Completed in 2007, the tower stands 82 meters tall and draws inspiration from the legendary nine-story wooden pagoda of Hwangnyongsa Temple from the Silla Dynasty.

Its most distinctive feature is the engraved silhouette of the pagoda at the center of the structure, blending traditional Korean architecture with modern design. At the top, an observation deck offers panoramic views of the Expo Park and the surrounding area.
