北庭回鶻佛寺遺址

新疆吉木薩爾

俗稱西大寺。位於新疆維吾爾自治區天山以北昌吉回族自治州吉木薩爾縣北面12公里的護堡子村,是北庭故城現知最大的佛教寺院遺址。此地為唐代(618~907)北庭大都護府治所,九世紀以後成為高昌回鶻王國的陪都,稱別失巴里。一九七九至一九八○年發掘了正殿上方東側的兩層龕和南面的遺址,發現有回鶻王亦都護供養像,時代約在十世紀中葉至十三世紀中葉。一九八八年隨北庭故城遺址整體列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 該遺址平面呈長方形,分為北、南兩大部分。北部以正殿為主體。正殿東、西、北三面築有兩層洞窟式佛龕,下層八個,上層七個;佛龕一字排開,龕龕毗連,每龕皆由門道和主室組成,內安置塑像,彩繪壁畫,其中S105殿繪有八王分舍利圖。遺址南面有由庭院、平台、配殿、僧房和庫房等組成的寺院建築。
