The Temple Site in Janghang-ri, Gyeongju (Korean: 경주 장항리 사지; Hanja: 慶州獐項里寺址) is the ruins of a Unified Silla-era Buddhist temple in Munmudaewang-myeon, Gyeongju, South Korea. On January 21, 1963, it was made Historic Site of South Korea No. 45.[1][2]
Its original name, nor its date of construction, are not known with certainty. The most significant of its remains are two pagodas at the site.[2][1] It was possibly rather small. The foundations of a building have been identified.[1] One of its pagodas was restored in 1932 after it was blown up by robbers who wanted the treasures inside.[1][2] The two pagodas were possibly originally of the same shape and size, although they now differ in form.[1]
