Gyeongbokgung Palace 서울9 - 경복궁

두 말 할 필요가 없는 곳, 조선 제1 궁이였던 경복궁입니다.
물론 많은 건물들이 사라지고 1995년 이후부터 복원 사업이 활발히 이루어지고 있으나 그 원래의 명성에는 미치지를 못 하겠습니다.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gyeongbokgung(경복궁), also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace -- is a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1395, later burned and abandoned for almost three centuries, and then reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty.[1] The name means "Palace" [Gung] "Greatly Blessed by Heaven" [Gyeongbok].
In the early 20th century, much of the palace was destroyed by Imperial Japan. Since then, the walled palace complex has been gradually restored back to its original form. As of 2009, roughly 40% of the original number of palace buildings still stand or have been reconstructed.
