Gyeonghuigung Palace
경희궁
Free to enter and often empty — a whole palace almost to yourself.
Built as a detached palace under King Gwanghaegun. Most of it was demolished during the colonial period and only a few halls remain, which is why the courtyards here stay empty in a way no other palace manages.
