Chungung-ri 3-Story Pagoda
Three-story Stone Pagoda at Dongsa Temple Site (Treasure)

This stone pagoda was made of granite from the Goryeo Dynasty. It stands at a height of 3.6 meters and comprises a two-story stylobate and a three-story pagoda body. In contrast to the notably large body stone on the lower floor, the second and third floors exhibit a significant reduction in size, while the roof stones also demonstrate proportional reduction. Such a distinctive diminishing ratio is rarely observed in other towers, highlighting the exceptional skill and stability employed in its construction. Following the typical stone pagoda style of Silla, this square stone pagoda is believed to have been built no later than the mid-Goryeo Dynasty. During the 1966 repair project, small pagodas made of agalmatolite were discovered within the pagoda itself.

Rock-carved Seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha in Gyosan-dong (Treasure)

With a height of just 93cm, this rock cliff Buddha is carved on a triangular rock, exhibiting exquisite carving technique and excellent proportion of the Buddha god. The fact that it holds a medicine bowl in its left hand is indicative of the reason behind the Buddha statue's name, Yaksa Buddha (Medicine Buddha). On the left side of the Buddha statue, there is a renowned engraved inscription that reads "Taepyeoinyeon Jeongchuk Chilwolisipguil Goseokbuljaeyeosaeul Jungsuwigeumsanghwangjemansewon", which means "We wish long life for the current emperor as we restore the old rock Buddha on July 29, the year of Jeongchuk in the second year of Taepyeong (977) " Next to the Buddha statue is a small waterfall (Gaeksan Waterfall) and a mineral spring.

Mahavaipulya purnabudha Sutra
Mahavaipulya purnabudha Sutra (The Complete Enlightenment Sutra), Part 2-2 of Volume 2 and Part 3-1 to 3-2 of Volume 2 (Treasure)

This Sutra is also called Wongakgyeong for short. It was handwritten by Jong Mil, a Buddhist monk of the Tang Dynasty of China. Later, King Sejo added gugyeol in Korean between Chinese phrases and printed the scripture with a bronze typeset called Eulyu-ja in 1465 (the 11th year of King Sejo’s reign). The Eulyu-ja typeset was created using calligraphy written by Jeong Nan-jong in 1465, the year of Eulyu. Since only the Korean annotated parts (gugyeol) were made into the Eulyu-ja typeset by using a Korean annotated version published by Gangyeongdogam (the Directorate of Sūtra Publication) as the original copy, the Korean notes (gugyeol) are the same as those in the Korean annotation version of Wongakgyeong Eonhae. The Wongakgyeong, printed using the Eulyu-ja typeset, is exceedingly rare, and its well-preserved condition as an early print copy adds to its value for studying the Korean language and bibliography of the 15th century.

Misa-ri Prehistoric Relic (Historical site No. 269)
Archaeological Site in Misa-ri (Historic Site)

Discovered in 1962, this site spans 1,470m from south to north and 20 to 40m from east to west. It stands as an exceptional archaeological site in Korea and the world, thanks to its layered cultural remains spanning the Neolithic era, Bronze Ages, Early Three Kingdoms era, and Baekje era. Notably, the Bronze era layer yielded numerous examples of patternless earthenware and evidence of habitation sites. In the Neolithic era layer, an abundance of daily tools including Comb-pattern Pottery, fishing net weights, flint arrowheads, stone axes, and carbonized acorns, were discovered. This site holds significant value as an epoch-making resource for studying the history of farming technology development in Korea, particularly due to the first-ever discovery of a large-sized patch from the Baekje era in the country.

hungung-dong Dongsa Site (Historical site No. 352)
Dongsa Temple Site (Historic Site)

As a large-scale temple site built in the early Goryeo Dynasty, it is estimated that the size of the main temple is comparable to that of Hwangnyongsa Temple in Gyeongju. During the excavation in 1988, a roof tilebearing the characters ‘桐 (paulownia) 寺 (temple)’ was discovered, confirming that it was a temple site. Other discoveries include gilt-bronze Buddha statues, convex tiles at the edge of eaves, and Buddhist utensils made of copper and porcelain. The octagonal structure with a diameter of 5.1m, the condition of the remains, and the architectural style are also unique, making it a valuable resource for research on architectural history and Korean Buddhist art.

Iseongsanseong (Historical site No. 422)
Iseongsanseong Fortress (Historic Site)

Located in Mt. Iseong (209.8m high) of San 36, Chungung-dong, Hanam-si. The height of the fortress is 6~7m and its circumference is 1.84km. Since it is constructed along the natural terrain with the main peak at its center, it takes the shape of an irregular pentagon. Remnants of castles, reservoirs, and building sites remain. At its peak, there are nonagon and octagonal building sites where important rituals were held. Uniquely, the hexagonal building site has not been found in any other area. In addition to earthenware, roof tiles, and weapons which have been excavated from the sites and found inside walls, various daily tools were unearthed through the excavation of reservoirs. These are evaluated as important data to understand the social conditions of that time.

Taegeukgi Donated by A. W. Busbea, a U.S. Marine
Taegeukgi Donated by A. W. Busbea, a U.S. Marine (State-Registered Cultural Heritage)

The Taegeukgi is presumed to be made by altering the Japanese flag and there are traces of sketches for trigrams. Its size is 86.3cm wide and 69.3cm long. During the Korean War, A. W. Busbea, who served as a U.S. Marine, received this Taegeuki from a Korean citizen in Seoul and he affixed the Taegeukgi to a military truck and carried it throughout the war. Even after returning to his home country, the United States, Busbea carefully preserved the Taegeukgi for over 50 years. In November 2005, he donated it to Hanam City during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Korean War Veterans Square at MacArthur Park in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. This Taegeukgi holds significant historical value as a flag that traversed battlefields during the Korean War.
The sisterhood between Little Rock and Hanam was established on May 22, 1992.
