| Description |
Beomeosa Temple is located at the edge of a famous mountain in Busan,
Mt.Geumjeongsan. About 1,300 years ago it was constructed by monk Ui Sang in the
18th year (678) of King Munmu (reign 661~681) of the Silla Kingdom (the kingdom
mainly occupying the Gyeongsang-do province region in 678A.D.). In the geography
book 'Donggukyeojiseungram' the origin of Beomeosa Temple is written as follows:
“There is a well on the top of Mt.Geumjeongsan and the water of that well is
gold. The golden fish in the well rode the colorful clouds and came down from
the sky. This is why the mountain is named Geumsaem (gold well) and the temple
is named 'fish from heaven'.” The original Beomeosa Temple building was lost
during Imjinwaeran Invasion (Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592) but was
renovated in 1713, which remains as it now is. Daeungjeon is one of the most
delicate and luxurious architectures of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910). There is
Iljumun, the three-story pagoda with four pillars, built in the 9th century, and
seven royal palace wings, pavilions, three gates, and eleven hermitages.
Designated as a natural monument, the wisteria woods and valleys is most
beautiful in May.
