Gyeongbokgung

경복궁

Where the Joseon dynasty began — the heart of Seoul for 600 years.

Opened in 1395 as Joseon's main palace. Burned during the Japanese invasions, it lay in ruins for over 270 years before being rebuilt — and the royal guard-changing ceremony still takes place before Gwanghwamun Gate each day.
