    The Jogyesa Temple is located in the center of Seoul and is one of Korea's most important Buddhist temples. It is the main temple of the Zen Buddhist Jogye School in Korea.

    The temple is known for its colorful lanterns, which are wonderful photo opportunities: O)

    The temple is significantly younger than many others in the region and was only built in 1910 with donations from other Buddhist temples.
    However, it was not given its current name until 1951 due to a political decision.
