The complex originally included a large wooden pagoda, the predecessor to the Iron Pagoda. Built by Yu Hao, the wooden pagoda would perish in a fire in 1044. It was replaced by the Iron Pagoda five years later, commissioned by the ruling emperor, Renzong. Despite its name, the building is not made of iron. It instead gets its name from the multicolored bricks mimicking the appearance of iron. The pagoda is one of China's oldest brick pagodas. Standing at thirteen stories tall, the structure has lasted 900+ years. It continues to stand tall after numerous man-made and natural disasters.
