About
Sansa (Korean: 산사; lit. 'mountain temple') is a term for any Korean Buddhist temple located on a mountain. Seven of these temples are designated as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites. With the country being largely mountainous and Buddhism deeply rooted in its history, there are many sansas across the country.
