Seoul
City Wall
The wall, which follows the ridges of Baegak(Bugaksan), Naksan( Naktasan), Namsan(Mongmyeoksan) , and Inwangsan,
the four main mountains surrounding the center of Seoul, has been rebuilt several times since its initial construction in 1396. The
wall measures between 5 and 8m high and is 18.6km long, and it served as city wall for the longest time among the existing walls
in the world.
Seoul City Wall has four main gates and four auxiliary gates. The main gates are Heunginjimun, Donuimun, Sungnyemun
and Sukjeongmun, while the auxiliary gates are Hyehwamun, Souimun, Gwanghuimun and Changuimun. In addition, the five-arch
flood gate and two-arch floodgate to the south of Heunginjimun were built to transport water from Cheonggyecheon Stream to
outside the wall.

Embracing
History
Korean history is engraved in Seoul City Wall. The wall preserves a succession of building
technics and structure developed by the Korean people from the Three Kingdoms period onwards. It also shows
the whole process of building-technic development during Joseon.
Seoul City Wall was originally built about 620 years ago. The actual construction work continued
for 98 days, half in the winter and half in the summer of 1394. Some 197,400 people were mobilized for the
construction of the wall, which was divided into 97 sections of around 600 feet. The sections were named in the
order of the characters in the Thousand Character Classic, a primer for teaching Sino-Korean. Workers from same
counties and prefectures were assigned to a specific section. Originally, wall sections on flat ground were built of
rammed earth, while those on mountainous terrain were built of stone. However, in 1422, the earthen sections of
the wall were replaced with stone as well. In 1704, another massive restoration and rebuilding project was carried
out, as parts of the wall had collapsed over the course of time. And since then several restorations have been carried
out, too. During the construction of the wall, records of the works were inscribed on the stone blocks of the wall.
Seoul City Wall lost a large part of its former appearance during the countrys modernization.
In 1899, the first tram lines were built to connect Seoul with outlying communities, and the wall gates lost their
original function. Thereafter, the wall connected to the gates were demolished for the expansion of the citys road
networks from 1907. In the Japanese colonial period, Japanese governors deliberately dismantled the wall gates
or neglected to be damaged. Donuimun and Souimun Gate were dismantled and Gwanghuimun and Hyehwamun
Gate were seriously damaged. Also the wall was damaged in that local residents built their houses too near to it.
After Korean liberation from Japan, the wall continued to be damaged in the rush of modernization.
Reconstruction of Seoul City Wall began at a site around Sukjeongmun Gate, behind the
presidential residence, shortly after a unit of the North Korean Special Forces infiltrated Seoul on 21
January 1968. That project was extended to the entire wall section from 1974. However, the integrity of Seoul
City Wall was damaged in places as conservation and restoration works were overly focused on rejoining severed
sections. Seoul Metropolitan Government fully recognized these problems, and established the department
exclusively responsible for the wall, Seoul City Wall Division in September 2012. And the city government drew up
master plan for the conservation and management of Seoul City Wall in accordance with the criteria for UNESCO
World Heritage Sites in October 2013.
As of 2014, some 70% (12.8km) of entire Seoul City Wall has been restored, and Sukjeongmun,
Gwanghuimun, and Hyehwamun were rebuilt, although Gwanghuimun and Hyehwamun had to be put on
locations near their original sites.

Cradling
Life
Seoul City Wall, which protected Seoul for some 600 years, closely affected the daily life of
the people inside. Residents were informed of the opening and closing times of the city gates by the sound of
the bell hanging in Bosingak belfry on Jongno. The bell was struck thirty-three times to lift the curfew in the early
morning and twenty-eight times to announce the curfew in the evening. The gates of private houses were opened
and closed according to the tolling of the bell, so the opening and closing times of the city gates controlled the
rhythm of the citizens life.
Seoul City Wall was also a boundary between life and death. Everyone who died, whether king
or commoner, had to be buried outside the wall. Thus, living within the wall signified life itself to the people in
Seoul.
Seoul City Wall represented the capital itself. People headed towards the capital from countryside
would see the wall in the distance and realized they were nearing their destination. The wall meant something
different to the scholars who traveled to the capital to take the state examinations, success in which would land
them a government post. Some of those candidates, hoping to pass the exam, would walk around the entire wall.
This practice became popular among local residents and developed into a traditional amusement going around
the wall and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Seoul City Wall helped unite the capital with its suburbs. Quarrying was prohibited inside the
wall, stones used for the wall had to be supplied from outside. Although the wall was built on the ridges of Mts.
Baegak, Nakta, Mongmyeok, and Inwang, the stone materials came from areas around Mts. Bukhansan and
Achasan outside the wall.
The capital defense system was anchored by Seoul City Wall. The wall alone was insufficient for
defending the capital. during times of external invasion or civil rebellion, the wall was never used for the purpose
of defense. Therefore, people commonly complained about all the work to build the wall in that is useless. On
September 11, 1971 in lunar calender, King Yeongjo proclaimed the decree on guarding the walls, declaring, In
an emergency, I will be the first to go up to the fortified wall to defend the city with the people. Moreover, the king
assigned each defense section to a community inside the wall so that they could protect their own section with
their own weapons in event of an emergency.

Looking Forward
To The Future
Seoul City Wall is the outcome of a succession of developments regarding the structure
and the techniques used to construct fortress walls on both mountainous terrain and flat ground since
Goguryeo. Seoul City Wall pairs royal palaces and fortress walls of Bukhansanseong and Namhansanseong,
which protected the capital city. The shape of the stone blocks and inscriptions on them indicate the construction
date and time period.
The wall were completed by two separate projects in January and August of
1396(lunar calender). The stone sections of the wall were built on mountainous terrain, while rammed earth
sections were constructed on flat
ground. Natural stones were shaped
for use in the construction of the wall.
The stone blocks used in the rebuilding of the wall were made in a standardized size of 40~45cm in length and
width, preserving the wall more solid
than before.
Seoul City Wall was built along the natural topography around Seoul. Respect for nature is a
long-held tradition of the Korean people. Thus, the wall, which was built in this natural way, became a part of the
natural environment over time and a subject of culture and art.
Seoul City Wall is one of the worlds longest and oldest city walls. It is rare to find city walls
the size of Seoul City Wall in any city with a population of ten million people or more. Although some sections are
damaged, 70% of the entire length of the wall has been preserved or rebuilt.
Seoul City Wall was registered on UNESCOs World Heritage Tentative List on 23 November
2012. Getting Seoul City Wall listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is an expression of the Korean peoples
desire and resolution to preserve the natural and historical landscape of Seoul and to hand it down to future
generations. The most important factor in preserving any cultural heritage is the love by the residents who live with
that cultural heritage.

of the rocks name because of its different meanings in the same sound.
Some said that the word "Mal" means "the last one" because the rock is
positioned at the foot of Baegak, while others said that it means "horse"
as people tethered their horses to the rock.

Park, Jangsu Village originally formed as a shantytown after the Korean War,
and was named Jangsu(longevity) Village as the majority of the population
was over 60 years old. When the village was designated as a redevelopment
area due to its narrow alleys and old buildings, the inhabitants managed to
halt the redevelopment project, and a village regeneration project was carried
out instead. Jangsu Village is considered a successful case of a village
regeneration project being conducted with residents participation.

Facts about
the Wall
[Belvedere of Seoul City Wall] The roof of the wall, roughly about the shoulder height of a man,
is only visible from inside the wall. The hiking circuit path of the wall on the Naksan Trail is arranged
outside the wall so that visitors can see the main structure of the wall (people can also go inside
the wall through Ammun). In addition, visitors can observe the magnificent, solid structure of the
wall at a glance, and compare the different techniques used to build the wall during the reigns of
Sejong, Sukjong, and Sunjo.

[ Ihwa Village ] Ihwa Village, just inside the wall on the Naksan Trail, was
established many years ago. It used to be regarded as an area that had fallen
behind in Seoul, but since 2006, with the governments support, artists have
colorful murals on the walls of the buildings and installed sculptures here and
there, giving the community a bright and cheerful atmosphere. From the end
of the stairway at the top of Naksan, walkers can see the wall, which encloses

park is named after the Marronier trees that line the streets of Daehak-ro. The
red-brick building on the right-hand side of the park, built at the beginning
of the 1930s, was used as the main building of Seoul National University.
However, after the relocation of the University to the Gwanak Campus,
the building became the government office of the Korean Culture & Arts

[ Real-name construction system and inscribed stone blocks ] Some of the stone blocks used
to build the wall have characters inscribed in them. Such stones are most commonly found around
the section of the wall next to Dongdaemun Seonggwak Park, where they were collected and put
together during the wall maintenance project. In the reigns of Kings Taejo and Sejong, the stones
were inscribed with the names of the county and prefecture responsible for constructing a given
wall section, as well as the name of that section, while in the mid-Joseon, they were marked with
the names of the supervisors and lead technicians, and the construction date. The inscribed stone
blocks in the photo on the right can be seen outside the wall, at the end section of the Naksan Trail.

Facts about
the Wall
[ Jangchung-dong Residential Area ] The wall disappears altogether in the residential area
around Janchung-dong next to Gwanghuimun. In 1930, when the Oriental Development Company
(established by Imperial Japan) developed this area for housing, some parts of this section of the
wall were damaged. Years later, during the 1960s and 70s, the construction of houses damaged
the wall further.

[ Remains of the wall at the foot of Hoehyeon, Namsan ] The area around the Patriot Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall on Namsan
was damaged during the construction of the Shinto in 1925. In 2013, when the Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented a
project for the preservation and maintenance of Seoul City Wall, parts of the base of the wall were unearthed in good condition
in this area.
[ Why are there many statues of independence activists on Namsan? ] Many monuments to independence activists are
positioned around Baekbeom Square on Namsan, where the Shinto was located during the Japanese Colonial Period. Thus, the
dominant image of the area has been switched from a symbol of the Japanese occupation to one of the Korean Independence
Movement.

The Sangpyeongchang (responsible for regulating prices) was originally
located here during the early Joseon, and with the enforcement of the Law
of Uniform Land Tax in the 17th century, the Tribute Bureau was established

in money, and there was no longer any need to store rice tributes, this area
of the Seonhyecheong Warehouse was given over to merchants for use
as a market place.

Namdaemun (South Gate), is the main gate of Seoul City Wall. Construction
of the gate started in 1395 and ended in 1398, although it was rebuilt
on two occasions in 1448 and 1479. Although the right and left sides of
the wall were demolished in 1907, the gate itself remained as a cultural
heritage. Sadly, in February 2008, the wooden structure on the second
floor of the gate tower was burned down by fire, and was not fully restored
until May 2013. In addition, an 83m-long section of wall connecting to both
sides of Sungnyemun was restored at this time.

Many urban-style hanok built during the Japanese Colonial Period have been
preserved in this community between Inwangsan and Gyeongbokgung. The
village, known as Sangchon or Udae in late Joseon, was home to many lowlevel officials because it was close to the palace and government offices.
Towards the end of Joseon, the village found itself at the center of the
Yeohang (i.e. classes below the elite) literature, as non-yangban(non-ruling
caste) intellectuals organized their poetry club here. Since the modern period,
prominent figures like poets Yi Sang and Yun Dong-ju, and the artists No
Cheon-myeong, Yi Jung-seop, Cheon Gyeong-ja, and Lee Sang-beom, have
lived and worked here.

(West Gate), used to be located at this site. It was originally built during
the reign of King Taejo of Joseon(1396), but it was closed in the 13th
year of the reign of King Taejong(1413), and Seojeonmun was built
for public access to the west of the wall. However, the exact original
location of Seojeonmun is unknown. In the 4th year of the reign of
King Sejong(1422), during construction work to reduce the size of
certain sections of the wall, Seojeonmun was closed and Donuimun
was newly built at the current location. Since then, Donuimun has also
been called Saemun or Sinmun (New Gate), while the nearby street was
named Sinmunno after the gate. However, in 1915, during the Japanese
occupation, when the streetcar service passed via the gate, the gate
was dismantled and its building materials sold off. Currently, a public
art work titled Invisible Gate stands on the former Site of
Donuimun.
