Located in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, the Hoeamsa Temple Site preserves the remains of a once-massive Buddhist temple that received strong royal patronage from the late Goryeo to early Joseon dynasty. Excavations have revealed extensive building foundations and artifacts that reflect the temple's former grandeur as one of Korea's largest religious complexes. It's a peaceful spot for history and culture enthusiasts to explore Korea's Buddhist heritage.
경기도 양주시에 자리한 회암사지는 고려 말부터 조선 초까지 왕실의 각별한 후원을 받았던 대규모 사찰의 흔적을 간직한 사적입니다. 발굴을 통해 드러난 웅장한 건물터와 유물들은 당시 최대 규모를 자랑했던 사찰의 위상을 짐작하게 해줍니다. 역사와 불교문화에 관심 있는 여행자라면 조용히 거닐며 옛 절터의 정취를 느껴보기 좋은 곳입니다.
