UNESCO World Heritage

Namhansanseong Fortress

Address

542, Namhansanseong-ro, Namhansanseong-myeon, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea

Introduction

This UNESCO World Heritage is located approximately 24km southeast of Seoul at Sanseong-ri, Namhansanseong-myeon, Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province.
Along with the Han River, this fortress was the strategic point for the Three Empires.
Ever since Baekje settled in Hanam-Wirye Castle, the people of Baekje have considered Namhan Fortress a sacred place.
This may also be related to the fact that Sungyeoljeon, the shrine of Great King Onjo, the founder of Baekje, is located within Namhan Fortress.
During the Joseon Dynasty, Namhan Fortress fulfilled its role as the base of national defense.
Historical moments had occurred during the reign of the 16th king, King Injo, which were the construction of the fortress and the struggle against the Mongolian invasions at this very fortress.
Today's Namhan Fortress was built from the 2nd year of the reign of King Injo (1624) and was completed in the 4th year of his reign (1626).
The fortress, which houses Haenggung, Sungnyeoljeon, Cheongryangdang, Jisudang, and Yeonmugwan, is a cultural heritage with a history spanning hundreds of years.
