South Korea's Historical Sites

This collection spans over a millennium of Korean history, featuring the Five Grand Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty in Seoul and the ancient Silla capital of Gyeongju. It includes UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the 8th-century Seokguram Grotto and Haeinsa Temple, home to the Tripitaka Koreana. From the Baekje-era mountain fortresses in Gongju to the traditional thatched-roof houses of Seongeup Folk Village on Jeju Island, these landmarks showcase Korea's evolving architectural styles, royal funerary traditions, and deep-rooted Buddhist heritage.
