Daereungwon (Korean: 대릉원; Hanja: 大陵園) is a complex of Silla-era tumuli tombs in Gyeongju, South Korea.
[2][3] The site is now a popular tourist attraction; in 2023 it was reported that it had around 1 million visitors on average per year.
[4] The complex contains 23 tombs of kings, queens, and nobles from the Silla period.
The sturdy construction of the tombs made them difficult for looters to access, which allowed for many of their relics to be well-preserved to the present.
In 2020, a pair of ceremonial gilt-bronze shoes dated to the late 5th and early 6th centuries was discovered in the complex.
