History
Established in the early 8th century by Emperor Shomu with the full resources of the nation, it was designated as the provincial temple and the chief provincial temple of Yamato Province. Its origins are traced to Kinsho-ji (Golden Bell Temple), founded at the foot of Wakakusa Mountain, which was renamed Konko-ji (Golden Light Temple) in 742 CE (Tenpyo 14). Although many buildings were destroyed by fire during the medieval period, the Daibutsu-den (Great Buddha Hall) was rebuilt in the Edo period.
