There is so much Silla heritage to be seen that Gyeongju is commonly referred to as the "museum without walls". In 1995, UNESCO recognized the historical and cultural value of the Silla Dynasty, and designated the Sokkuram Grotto and Bulguksa temple, two of the most representative remains of the city, as parts of the world cultural heritage.
