Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda in Iksan, South Korea, is a significant historical and cultural landmark. Constructed during the Baekje Kingdom (18 BCE – 660 CE), it is one of the oldest and largest stone pagodas in Korea. The pagoda originally stood nine stories high, although only six stories remain today due to the ravages of time. This ancient structure is part of the Mireuksa Temple site, which was once the largest Buddhist temple in the Baekje Kingdom. The pagoda's architectural style reflects a transition from wooden to stone construction, showcasing the advanced engineering and artistic skills of the Baekje people.
