Maneosa Temple (만어사)

Overview

Maneosa Temple, perched on Maneosan Mountain in Miryang, dates back to 46 A.D. and is steeped in tradition and numerous legends. During the Silla dynasty, it served as a ceremonial site for the king to conduct Buddhist rites. Notably, beneath the Mireukjeon Hall lies the Maneoseok Rocks, reputed to be fish that transformed into stones. Remarkably, these stones emit a clear, bell-like sound when struck, earning them the nickname Jongseok (Bell stone). The temple also features a three-story stone pagoda, standing 3.7 meters tall, which has been designated as a Treasure.
