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.

전남광주통합특별시 화순군 도암면 대초리

Jeonnamgwangjutonghapteukbyeol-si. The register lists its founding year as 서기827.

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

운주사의 창건과 천불천탑의 건립은 통일신라말 도선국사에 의한 것으로 전해지며 문헌상으로는 신증동국여지승람 능성 현조에서 현존 석불 석탑의 유래 짐작할 수 있음 운주사는 해발 100미터 내외의 비교적 낮은 야산지대로서 불적은 평지와 야산 등 반경 200미터 범위내에 산재되어 있음

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.
