Located in the center of Gongju, the former capital of Baekje, Gongju Sanseong Market is a historic traditional market that was established as a private market in 1918, continuing the legacy of Gongjujang, and officially opened in 1937, named after Gongsanseong Fortress, the site of the Baekje royal palace. It is broadly divided into 5 sections, specializing in various items such as vegetables, seafood, clothing, and food, and a 5-day market is held on the 1st and 6th of every month, adding to its vitality. In the 'food alley' within the market, you can taste local foods such as kalguksu and gukbap, and delicacies such as chestnut makgeolli and chestnut chapssaltteok made with Gongju's specialty chestnuts are must-tries.
In the evening, the 'Bammasil Night Market' opens, combining diverse foods, crafts, and performances, offering a different kind of joy from the daytime.
