Description

History teaches us many lessons and in Korea there is no better place to absorb them, than in the city of Gyeongju. The city was the cradle of Silla culture and site of the dynasty’s capital from 57 B.C. to 935 A.D. As early as 1979, Gyeongju was selected by UNESCO to be one the ten ancient historic cities of the world. A visit to the many ruins and museum there gives the tourist some idea of the city’s magnificent scale, height of cultural attainment and superiority in art and learning over one thousand years ago.
