  Gyeongbokgung Palace

  Gyeongbokgung Palace, the grandest of Seoul’s five royal palaces. Built in 1395, shortly after the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung was the political and ceremonial heart of Korea for more than 500 years. Its name means “Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven.” Here, you will see the magnificent Geunjeongjeon, where kings held important ceremonies and received foreign envoys, and the beautiful Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, surrounded by a pond with the mountains as its backdrop. But Gyeongbokgung is more than beautiful buildings. Its story includes the glory of the Joseon Dynasty, periods of war and destruction, and Korea’s continuing effort to restore its cultural heritage. You can also experience Korea’s traditional culture by wearing a beautiful hanbok while exploring the palace.
