Baekje Historic Areas 백제역사유적지구

About

The Baekje Historic Areas (Korean: 백제역사유적지구) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that consists of eight monuments in three cities in South Korea: Gongju, Buyeo, and Iksan. They relate to the last period of the Koreanic kingdom Baekje (18 BC to 660 CE), representing the period from 475 to 660 CE. The Baekje Historic Areas were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 8 July 2015 at the 39th session of the Committee. They were inscribed both as a cultural heritage under Criteria II, for the cultural and architectural features which the ancient East Asian kingdoms of Korea evolved in respect of construction methods and Buddhism and exchanged with China and Japan, and under Criteria III, for the extraordinary architecture, culture, religion, and artistry of Baekje in its capital cities, Buddhist shrines and funerary structures, and stone pagodas. The sites included in the list are the fortress Gongsanseong, the Royal Tombs in Songsan-ri, the fortress Busosanseong and Archaeological Site in Gwanbuk-ri, the temple Jeongnimsa, the Royal Tombs in Neungsan-ri, and the Naseong City Wall, the Archaeological Site in Wanggung-ri, and the temple Mireuksa in Iksan.
