About

Built surrounding Buso south of the Baengmagang River, Busosanseong Fortress was the capital city and the central mountain fortress that defended the capital during the Sabi period of Baekje. It is presumed to have been constructed during the reign of Seongwang and completed in its current form during the reign of Mu of Baekje. Here, the history of Baekje and royal stories are permeated throughout, such as Nakhwaam bearing the loyalty of Baekje women, Samchungsa Shrine dedicated to the loyal subjects Seongchung, Heung Su, and Kyebaek, the sunrise spot Yeongillu Pavilion, and Gunchangji (Military Granary Site) which was a grain storehouse site.

It is a historic site of profound significance that was used as a place for the king and nobles to enjoy the beautiful scenery during normal times, and utilized for military purposes during emergencies.
