Daegu's Sacred Sites

Daegu’s religious landscape features a mix of historic Western-style architecture and traditional Korean Buddhist sites. Key highlights include the Gothic-style Kyesan Cathedral, the first of its kind in the region, and the serene Pagyesa Temple nestled on Palgongsan Mountain. The collection encompasses active Catholic parishes, Presbyterian churches, and secluded Buddhist hermitages like Budoam, reflecting the city’s spiritual history and architectural evolution from the late 19th century to the present.
