Gyeongbok Palace, the main royal residence of the Joseon Dynasty
Gyeongbok Palace was built in 1395 by King Taejo, the first king of the Joseon Dynasty. Mt. Bukak stands tall behind the palace and the road stretching in front of its main gate Gwanghwamun, what is now called Sejong-no, was the main artery of Hanyang, the old name for Seoul. Here’s cultural guide Jeon Jin-ju.
