designated date of national treasure
The Ten-story Stone Pagoda of Wongaksa Temple Site in Seoul is a Joseon-era stone pagoda located in Tapgol Park, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and is the second national treasure of Korea.

The stone pagoda was built in 1467 (the 13th year of King Sejo's reign) and consists of a three-story stylobate and a 10-story pagoda, embossed with figures and flower designs.

The top third floor was corroded by the long-standing collapse of the bird droppings.

It was restored to its original state in 1947. In 2000, the surface was seriously damaged and glass-protected.
