About

Yeosu Jinnamgwan Hall is a historic building erected on the site of Jinhaeru, which Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin used as the headquarters of Jeolla Jwasuyeong during the Imjin War. It holds the meaning of 'pacifying the country by suppressing the Japanese pirates in the south' and boasts the largest scale among existing local government buildings from the Joseon Dynasty. The massive pillars and grand single-story wooden structure have been highly evaluated for their architectural value and designated as a National Treasure.

When you go up to Jinnamgwan Hall, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea off Yeosu and the old town, and it is an important place where you can reflect on the history of victory in the Imjin War.
