최	최성현 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 탑골공원 안에 있다. 도심 한 가운데 이런 유물이 있다니... 유리에 쌓여 있다. 많이 훼손된 부분이 보이지만 그래도 지금은 잘 관리되고 있는 것 같다. It is in Tapgol Park. In the middle of the city is this artifact ... Stacked in glass. I can see a lot of damage, but it seems to be well managed now.

녹	녹색걷기 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1962년 12월 20일 국보 제2호로 지정되었다. 높이 약 12m이다. 이 탑보다 약 120년 전에 만들어진 고려시대 경천사(敬天寺) 십층석탑(국보 86)을 모방하여 만든 탑이다. '아(亞)' 자형의 3층 기단, 이와 같은 평면의 3층 탑신, 네모꼴로 된 4층 이상의 탑신이 경천사 십층석탑과 기본적으로 같다. 탑신부는 층층이 아름다운 기와집을 모각하여 기둥·난간·공포(栱包), 지붕의 기와골까지 섬세한 수법이다. 옥신(屋身)에는 수많은 부처 ·보살상 ·천인(天人) 등과 구름·용·사자·모란·연꽃·인물·새·선인(仙人) 등이 새겨져 있다. 조선시대 석탑으로는 유례를 찾아볼 수 없는 우수한 조각솜씨를 보여주는 세련된 석탑이다. 국보 제2호지정일 1962년 12월 20일 소장 -탑골공원 석탑크기- 높이 약 12m 소재지 서울특별시 종로구 종로 99 (종로2가 38) It was designated as National Treasure No. 2 on December 20, 1962. It is about 12m high. This tower was created by imitating the 10-story stone pagoda (National Treasure 86) of Gyeongcheonsa Temple in the Goryeo Dynasty, which was created about 120 years ago. The three-tiered podium in the shape of an 'a', the three-tiered pagoda in this plane, and the four-story or higher pagoda in a square shape are basically the same as the ten-story stone pagoda in Gyeongcheonsa. The Tower Bride is a delicate technique, including the pillars, railings, and fears, and the roof tiles, by mimicking the beautiful tiled houses. A number of Buddhas, Bodhisattva statues, heavenly persons, etc., clouds, dragons, lions, peonies, lotuses, figures, birds, and seonin are engraved on Oksin. It is a refined stone pagoda that shows excellent carving skills that cannot be found in a stone pagoda in the Joseon Dynasty.

B	Bart Chang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 옛 원각사가 있었던 자리이다 불교를 숭상했던 세조 수양대군이 지었다는데 원각사지 10층 석탑이 멋지게 서있다 어린 나이에 숙부로 인해 마음 고생 많이 한 단종을 기리며 돌아 보았다 It is the site of the old Wongaksa Temple It was built by King Sejo, who worshiped Buddhism. The 10-story stone pagoda at Wongaksa Temple stands beautifully I looked back in memory of Danjong, who suffered a lot because of his uncle at a young age.
육	육아조무사TV on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 조선 초기 원각사가 지어질 때 함께 건조된 석탑이며 국보 2호입니다. 원각사는 지금의 탑골공원 자리에 있던 절입니다. 원각사는 연산군이 절을 기생집으로 만들어 승려들을 내보내면서 없어지게 되었다고 전해집니다. 석탑은 산성비로 인한 손상을 방지하기 위해 1999년부터 유리 안에 보관되어 있습니다. 우리나라 석탑의 일반적인 재료는 화강암이지만 이 석탑은 대리석으로 만들어졌습니다. It is a stone pagoda built together when Wongaksa Temple was built in the early Joseon Dynasty and is National Treasure No. 2 Wongaksa Temple was located on the site of present-day Tapgol Park. It is said that Wongaksa Temple disappeared when Yeonsangun turned the temple into a gisaeng house and sent out monks. The stone pagoda has been kept in glass since 1999 to prevent damage from acid rain. The common material for stone pagodas in Korea is granite, but this pagoda is made of marble.
H	H Delgado on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited this pagoda. And from the minute you enter the garden surrounding it you can feel the history behind it. What is most unique about this pagoda is that it is made out of marble.
B	BradJill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the interesting things to see at Tapgol Park is the historic Wongaksa Pagoda. This is a ten-storey marble pagoda constructed in 1467. The monument is recognised as National Treasure #2 in Korea and is encased in a glass building and surrounded by protective scaffolding due to its delicate state. The pagoda was formerly part of the larger Wongak-sa Temple which was located here. That temple is gone now but the pagoda and the nearby historic Monument of Wongak-sa, a tortoise and pillar remain for visitors to see. Unfortunately, you can't approach this historic pagoda to better inspect its design and carved images. However, there is a similar national treasure, the Gyongcheonsa Pagoda on the ground floor of the National Museum of Korea, which you might also want to see during your visit to Seoul. This provides a good example of what Wongaksa Pagoda would look like without its protective scaffolding and glass walls. The Wongaksa Pagoda is a neat attraction at Tapgol Park if you enjoy seeing historical monuments and buildings. The Tapgol Park isn't far Jongmyo Shrine and can be easily combined with visits to that important UNESCO World Heritage Site.
T	Tae-young Jang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wongaksa Temple whose precincts once housed this stone was established in 1465 at the current location of Tapgol Park in Downtown Seoul. The temple continued to thrive as a state institution even after the establishment of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), which adopted Confucianism as its ideological foundation and suppressed Buddhism. It was in 1504 when Joseon was under the rule of Yeonsangun, a despotic king, that the temple was closed and its premises were turned into a gisaeng (female entertainer) house called Yeonbangwon. This 12-meter-tall marble pagoda is the only existing monument of its kind built during the Joseon Period, boasting of elaborately carved decorations that create wonderful aesthetic harmony with the grayish white surface of the marble. The pagoda consists of a three-tier base in polygonal shape -- decorated with elaborately carved images of various creatures such as dragon, lion, and lotus -- and the ten-story main body wherein the lower part of the three stories is polygonal in plain view just like the base and the upper part of the seven stories is in square form. Each story exhibits the appearance of a traditional Korean house in a detailed manner complete with roof, decorative support brackets, and columns. Compared with other Korean stone pagodas largely made of granite, this pagoda is unique since it is made of marble and due to its structure whose details are similar to those of the Ten-story Stone Pagoda of the Gyeongcheonsa Temple Site built during the Goryeo Period (918-1392). A record engraved on the top of the pagoda shows that it was set up in 1467. The pagoda is now regarded as a great masterpiece for its unique decorations wrought with excellent carving techniques.
