3 Stone Buddha Statues of Shilla Dynasty in Namsan Mountain.

Gyeongju was an open museum. The relics were scattered in Gyeongju widely.

I heard there were 3 Buddha statues of Shilla dynasty near Namsan mountain. It was said that these 3 statues had been abandon for more than 1000 years under the ground.

Recently these statues were brought near Namsan in Gyeongju.

When I got to there, there was a small Buddhist temple.
It was very calm and quiet.
I looked around this temple slowly.

The pagoda was impressive.

The 3 Buddha statues were near the temple along the road to the entrance of mountain.

The building was built to protect Statues from the rain and the snow.

It was written in the pamphlet the central statue was the most well sculpted, but in my opinion the left was better than that.

Below is the central Buddha.
The face of Statue was broken.

They seemed to believe these Buddha statue had a mysterious power.

People bowing to the Statues were very sincere.
