About

Suncheon Dolmen Park is an outdoor museum created by relocating prehistoric ruins that were in danger of being submerged during the construction of the Juam Multipurpose Dam. Over 140 dolmens, menhirs, pit houses, and prehistoric house sites have been elaborately relocated and restored to their actual size on a spacious site, allowing visitors to vividly see the lifestyle of ancestors from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age. Various convenience and experiential facilities, such as sotdae (spirit poles), walking trails, and exhibition halls, are also available, making it a great place to enjoy the historical value of prehistoric culture and unique scenery simultaneously in quiet nature.
