The Tomb of Queen Jindeok (Korean: 진덕여왕릉; Hanja: 眞德女王陵) is a tumulus tomb believed to belong to Jindeok, the 28th monarch of Silla (r. 647–654[a]). Its ownership is disputed;[1] some believe the tomb belongs to King Sinmu.[2] On January 21, 1963, it was made Historic Site of South Korea No. 24.[1][2]
The tomb has a diameter of 14.4 m (47 ft) and height of 4 m (13 ft). It is surrounded by twelve stone slabs, each carved with an image of an animal of the zodiac.[2] It was renovated in 1975.[1]
