Seokgatap () is a Silla-era stone pagoda in the temple Bulguksa in Gyeongju, South Korea. It was designated National Treasure of South Korea No. 21 on December 20, 1962. The pagoda stands 10.75 meters high and directly across from another pagoda Dabotap. It probably dates to around 751, when Bulguksa was completed.
==Description== The Seokgatap is in distinct contrast with its more elaborate brother the Dabotap. The pagoda is of a very simple and basic design and the three stories have a pleasing 4:3:2 ratio which gives the pagoda a sense of balance, stability, and symmetry. The contrast between the simplicity of the Seokgatap and the complexity of the Dabotap is designed to represent the dual nature of the Buddha's contemplation and detachment from the world or perhaps it symbolizes the celestial versus the terrestrial.
