The Silla Kingdom lasted for nearly 1,000 years, between 57BCE and 935CE. Especially from the 7^th century CE onwards, many exceptional examples of Korean Buddhist art and architecture were created, including sculptures, reliefs, pagodas, as well as religious and secular buildings. Included in this site are other secular structures and sites, including palaces, tumuli (tombs), ponds, and woodlands.
