Purpose: According to the excavation survey, the scope of the site extended to the current Geumdangji area in the 9th century and the pagoda was relocated. According to the excavation survey, the area of Geumdangji was extended to the current area of Geumdangji in the 9th century, and there was a change in the relocation of the pagoda. The pagoda was not identified in front of Geumdangji. As it is now, the pagoda is located in the west of Geumdang, and the layout of the pagoda's center appears to have been completed as it was relocated and rebuilt. These arrangements are also found in royal shrines and pagodas built outside the royal palace in the 7th and 8th centuries, including Goseon Temple Site, Changnim Temple Site, Hwangbok Temple Site, and Nawonla Temple Site. It appears to reflect a particular type of arrangement or complex religious inclinations at the time. Method: The pedestal of the first floor of the pagoda and its curved pedestal are inherited from the original royal pagoda of the 9th century. It can be seen as evidence that the unique style of decoration has been inherited by a group of experts or artisans in the construction of the pagoda. Result: During the reconstruction of the pagoda in 1747, there was a change in the construction of a shrine (Geumgang Stairway) and a chapel, Hyangrojeon, in front of the pagoda, imitating Tongdosa Temple, but it seems that the layout of the shrine in the east and the pagoda in the west remained the same.
