Located in the heart of Seoul, the center of the history of the Republic of Korea, Gwanghwamun Square is a wide space that stretches from Gwanghwamun, the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, to Cheonggyecheon Stream. It is a historical place that continues the legacy of Yukjo Street, which was a major road during the Joseon Dynasty, and is loved today as a space for rest and communication for citizens. In the center of the square, the statues of King Sejong the Great, who created Hangul, and Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who led the Imjin War to victory, stand majestically, honoring the great figures of Korea.
Below the square, there is also an exhibition space introducing their achievements, and the open scenery unfolding with Bugaksan Mountain and Gyeongbokgung Palace in the background is one of the most impressive scenes in Seoul.
