Seokgatap (Korean: 석가탑; Hanja: 釋迦塔) is a Silla-era stone pagoda in the temple Bulguksa in Gyeongju, South Korea. It was designated National Treasure of South Korea No. 21 on December 20, 1962.[1] The pagoda stands 10.75 meters high and directly across from another pagoda Dabotap. It probably dates to around 751, when Bulguksa was completed.[2]
