Romanized from Korean under the Revised Romanization of Korean (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Notice 2014-42). It is a transcription, not an official English name.

Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 서기597.
The public register has no coordinates for this temple, so the on-site stamp does not work here. Keep the visit in your own memory instead.
Recorded origin, in the register's own words
신라 진평왕 39년에 창건. 관음사라 칭함 조선 명종 10년에 태감선사가 4창하여 무위사로 개칭
This paragraph is the origin and history field of the traditional temple register published by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, copied exactly. We leave it in Korean rather than translating it, because a translation would put founding dates, people and schools of Buddhism into words the source never used. Nothing here was added or edited by us.
