Chungju Jungangtap Park is home to the Seven-story Stone Pagoda in Tappyeong-ri (National Treasure No. 6), set before the beautiful scenery of the Namhangang River. The stone pagoda was built during the Unified Silla period and was the largest stone pagoda at that time. Because of its location in the middle of the nation, it was called Jungangtap (jungang means middle in Korean). The area around the pagoda was made into a sculpture park, with 26 art pieces from artists throughout the nation.
