It is a representative temple of the Silla Dynasty, founded in 751 (10th year of King Gyeongdeok’s reign) by Kim Dae-seong. However, according to the “Bulguksa Gogeumchanggi,” “the year after Ichadon was martyred, in 528 (15th year of King Beopheung’s reign), King Beopheung’s mother, Lady Yeongje, and Lady Giyun founded this temple and became a nun.”
Bulguksa is the Buddhist land that the Silla people longed for, the ideal world of peace. The Silla people’s desire for the Buddhist land is expressed here in three aspects. One is the Saha world of Sakyamuni Buddha based on the Lotus Sutra, the other is the Paradise of Amitabha Buddha based on the Infinite Life Sutra, and the other is the Lotus World of Vairocana Buddha based on the Avatamsaka Sutra.

These three are each expressed in their own unique way through the overall composition of a section centered on the Daeungjeon, another section centered on the Geungnakjeon, and the Birojeon.

경주 대릉원 일원에 있는 신라고분은 신라의 대표적인 고분군으로 고신라시기의 신라 왕과 귀족들의 무덤군이다. 무덤의 양식은 돌무지 덧널무덤으로 축조기법상의 문제로 도굴이 어려워 대부분 도굴되지 않은 상태로 남아있는 것으로 추정된다. 일제강점기부터 발굴조사가 이루어져 금관과 과대 용기류 등 금속유물을 비록하여 수많은 토기와 생활용품이 출토되어 고신라의 문화를 이해하는데 결정적인 자료를 제공해 주고 있는 중요한 유적이다.

월정교는 남북국시대 통일신라의 수도 서라벌에 건설된 목조 다리이다. 경주 남천 위에 지어졌으며 일정교와 함께 국왕이 사는 궁궐인 경주 월성과 건너편의 남산 지역, 도당산성(건너 언덕에 있는 토성)을 이어주는 역할을 했다. 월정교는 신라 제35대 경덕왕 19년(760년)에 축조된 것으로 삼국사기에 최초로 기록되어 있으며, 서라벌의 교통로로 기능했다. 신라 당시의 명칭은 깨끗할 정자를 쓴 월정교였으나 고려 시대에 정할 정자를 쓴 월정교로 바뀌어 현대까지 이른다. 2013년 교량이 완료되었고 2018년에 전체 구조 복원이 완료되었다.

월정교를 통해 신라인들의 예술성과 건축술을 엿볼수 있다.
