Jeonsabeol Royal Tomb
A burial mound in Hwadalli, Sabeolguk-myeon, Sangju, traditionally called the 'Tomb Attributed to the King of Sabeol.' The word 'attributed' is essential: the person buried here has not been conclusively identified in standard historical records. Local tradition connects it with Park Eon-chang, a son of Silla's King Gyeongmyeong. The nearby Hwadalli Three-Story Stone Pagoda is another heritage site.
