Hwaeomsa

Hwaeomsa (화엄사, ) is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It is located on the slopes of Jirisan, in Masan-myeon, Gurye county, Jeollanam-do. It was constructed under the Silla dynasty in 544, burned down during the Seven Year War in the 1590s, and rebuilt thereafter.

Four national treasures of South Korea are located within the temple. These include an ancient stone lantern and a three-storied stone pagoda supported by four stone lions.
