Seoul Fortress Former Yongsan Water Observatory
 


  Seoul Fortress was built in 1395 for the defense of Seoul after King Taejo transferred the capital to Hanyang (Seoul) in 1394. King Taejo established 'Doseong Dochuk Dogam'(Office for fortress building) and mobilized 200,000 people to build the fortress. Its circumference is around 17km.
Seoul Fortress was built with stone and soil in such a short period of time that it had infirm spots.

It was rebuilt with rectangular stone through the mobilization of 320,000 people in 1442 (the 4th year of King Sejong).
Seoul Fortress is a valuable cultural inheritance that shows the patriotism of our ancestors.
