Myeongdong Cathedral, the heart and symbol of Korean Catholicism, is a quiet haven in the bustling downtown of Seoul. Completed in 1898, it is Korea's first full-scale Gothic-style building, where a magnificent pointed bell tower and beautiful stained glass create a reverent atmosphere. Beyond a simple religious facility, it is a historical space that served as a sacred site for the democratization movement in the 1980s, sharing important moments in Korea's modern history.
It is a special place where you can take a brief break from the crowded Myeongdong streets and experience architectural beauty along with serene peace.
