Tomb of Kim Yu-sin, Gyeongju
경주 김유신묘 (慶州 金庾信墓)

This is the tomb of General Kim Yu-sin, who made a significant contribution to the unification of the kingdoms of Baekje and Goguryeo under Silla. The diameter of the tomb is about 30m, and its base is strengthened by stone panels. In between the stone panels, adorning the retaining wall, are relief carvings of the 12 Oriental zodiac images dressed in civilian clothes and with weapons ready as the unique tradition of Silla tombs since the royal tomb of King Seongdeok. King Heungdeok, the 42nd king of Silla, posthumously made him the Great King Heungmu. Thus, his tomb was prepared and cared for as a royal tomb.
