Tomb of Kim Yu-sin
Tomb of Kim Yu-sin
The tomb is a burial mound in Chunghyo-dong, Gyeongju, South Korea, dating to the 7th century. It is believed to belong to the Silla general Kim Yu-sin (595–673), though some scholars think it might be King Sinmu. It was designated Historic Site No. 21 on January 21, 1963.
The tomb is mentioned in ancient Korean histories, the Samguk yusa and Samguk sagi. It has a diameter of about 30 meters and is decorated with relief carvings of zodiac animals. A stone monument was erected in 1710, and a stone railing surrounds the tomb.
