Gwanghwamun Square (광화문 광장)

172 Sejong-daero, Jongno-gu, Seoul

Overview

Gwanghwamun Square is centered around Sejong-ro, the main street of Seoul with 600 years of history, and an open public space for historical and cultural experiences inspired by restoring the old Yukjo Street. Woldae (Elevated Ceremonial Stage) was reconstructed at the entrance of the "The Space that Recovers the History of Gwanghwamun," and the statue of Haetae, an imaginary animal that judges good and evil, has been restored. In addition, traces of Yukjo Street, the main street of Hanyang in the past, were restored in the "Space that recreates the scenery of Yukjo Street" near Sejong-ro Park, with a scale model installed. This is an excellent place for a stroll with beautiful scenery, including Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bugaksan Mountain.
