Gwoereung Tomb of King Wonseong

Silla royal tomb with guardian stone figures outside central Gyeongju

Gwoereung Tomb of King Wonseong is one of the Silla royal tombs around Gyeongju, notable for its stone guardian figures and quieter setting away from the most visited central burial mounds. It helps show that Gyeongju's royal landscape extends well beyond Daereungwon.

The tomb is best for travellers with a serious interest in Silla history or those already visiting sites east of the city. It is atmospheric rather than spectacular, so combine it with nearby temples or other outlying heritage stops.
