Republic of Korea
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Sansa are Buddhist mountain temples found throughout the southern provinces of the Korean peninsula. The site consists of seven temples built between the 7th and 9th centuries AD, and their spatial layout presents a common characteristic unique to Korea - a "madang" (open courtyard) flanked by four buildings (a Buddhist hall, a pavilion, a lecture hall and a dormitory). They contain a large number of unique buildings, objects, documents and shrines. These mountain temples are sacred places and remain centers of faith and daily religious activities to this day.
