Seoul's Historic Treasures

Seoul’s historical landscape is defined by the legacy of the Joseon Dynasty, featuring the 'Five Grand Palaces' like Gyeongbokgung and Changgyeonggung. The city's architectural heritage includes the massive stone gates of the Fortress Wall, such as Gwanghwamun and Heunginjimun. Beyond the palaces, the Seonjeongneung royal burial grounds and the traditional hanok houses of Bukchon offer insight into ancient customs. Religious sites like Bongeunsa Temple and modern landmarks like the Seodaemun Prison History Hall provide a comprehensive view of Korea's past.
