Seonamsa (Korean: 선암사; Hanja: 仙巖寺) is a Korean Buddhist temple on the eastern slope at the west end of Jogyesan Provincial Park, within the northern Seungjumyeon District of the city of Suncheon, South Jeolla Province, South Korea.

A hiking trail to the left of Seonam Temple leads to Maaeburi, a 17 metres (56 ft)-high sculpture engraved on a rock.

Seonamsa is beautiful throughout the year, especially in the spring when all the flowers are in bloom, as well as in the fall with all the autumn colors.

[3] With 19 National Cultural Properties in its halls and museum, there are few Korean Buddhist temples with more treasures than Seonamsa.

[4] Legend states that in 529, the missionary monk Ado (阿道) built a hermitage at this site on the eastern slope of Jogyesan and named it Biroam (Chinese: 毘盧庵; pinyin: Pílúān; Korean: 비로암).

As the head temple of the samamsa trio ("three 'rock' temples") with Unamsa (雲岩) and Yongamsa (龍岩), Seonamsa played a fundamental role in the development of Seon Buddhism, and many masters have practiced, taught and attained awakening here.

Monk Hoan built this Joseon Era bridge over a period of six years beginning in 1713.

The protruding sculpture of a dragon's head below the midsection of the bridge, facing upstream, is intended to ward off evil spirits.

The bridge's arch casts a magical reflection in the stream below with the image of the Gangseonru (pavilion) peeping out beneath, a short distance away.

Because this charming bridge blends in so well with the valley below, it is often used as a location for shooting movies and TV shows.

The gate symbolizes ritual purification and one must leave all of their worldly desires before entering the temple.

According to the records from the "Message for the framework-raising ceremony of Jogye Gate" the original Seonamsa Iljumun was destroyed by fire and restored in 1540.

Inside Wontongjeon there is a tablet that reads "Daebokjeon" (Hall of Great Luck), written personally by King Jeongjo (1752-1800).

The King had asked the High Priest Nuram of Seonamsa to offer a prayer for a male heir, for 100 days.

On the east and west sides of the courtyard in front of the Mahavira Hall stand a pair of three-storied stone pagodas of nearly the same size and design.

[2] The Lavatory at Seonamsa is a rectangular wood building with an open entrance on the north side, built on elevated ground.

There is no documentation indicating the origin of Seonamsa's Lavatory, but it is thought to have existed since before the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98).

[2] Gakhwangjeon (hall; 각황전 / 覺皇殿), also known as Jangyukjeon, has a plaque in front identifying the "gakhwang" as Sakyamuni, who is "twice as tall as people who have (an) average height".

The inscription on monument the reads; "Seonam Temple, destroyed by fire during the second Japanese Invasion, was renovated by Monk Yakhyu and others".

Seonam White Mume trees were designated as Korean National Natural Monuments #488.

Legend says that long ago mothers who sent their daughters off to be married gave them a packet of these tea seeds as a perfume.
