Original file name: 20230709 165605
This multi-tiered wooden pagoda displays characteristic Korean Buddhist architecture with blue-glazed ceramic roof tiles, elaborate dancheong polychrome bracket sets (gongpo), and red-painted structural members between each receding story. The tapering silhouette rises through approximately five stories, each level featuring deeply overhanging eaves with upturned corners and intricate bracketing typical of the Joseon period. A traditional stone and tile boundary wall (damsam) with rounded tile coping occupies the foreground, consistent with a royal or temple precinct setting, suggesting this may be Gyeongbokgung Palace or a major Seoul temple complex.
