Ganlu Temple Iron Pagoda

甘露寺鐵塔

江蘇鎮江

又稱衛公塔。位於江蘇省鎮江市北固山甘露寺,是中國現存八座古鐵塔之一。唐寶曆年間(825~827),衛公李德裕為穆宗(820~824在位)祈冥福所建,原為石造七層,唐(618~907)末被毀。北宋熙寧年間(1068~1077)於舊址重建九層鐵塔,元豐元年(1078)竣工。明萬曆十年(1582)被大風颱倒,修葺時改為七層。清同治(1862~1874)、光緒(1875~1908)年間幾經風暴雷擊,至一九四九年僅存塔基,一九六○進行整修。一九八二年列為江蘇省文物保護單位。
 該塔現為八角四層仿木構樓閣式鐵塔,殘高約8公尺,塔基及塔身第一、二層為宋代(960~1279)原物,第三、四層係明代(1368~1644)所鑄。
 塔坐落於青石台基上。塔下基座為鐵鑄須彌座,須彌座上枋有雙龍戲珠,下部鑄海水、流雲、仙山,束腰每面有坐佛,與湖北當陽玉泉寺鐵塔相仿。
 塔身相對四面設門,隔層交錯。塔身上鑄有佛、飛天、龍獸和各種花紋圖樣等。各層鑄有平座、腰檐,檐下仿木構鑄出斗栱,比例尺度完全依照宋代法式鑄造。一九六○年於塔基出土文物二千五百餘件,其中以李德裕所撰《重瘞禪眾寺舍利題記》最有價值。
