🗻️ Gwanghwamun Square

Gwanghwamun Square (Korean: 광화문광장), a.k.a. Gwanghwamun Plaza, is a public square located in Sejongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, in front of Gyeongbokgung. Serving as a public space and, at times, a road for centuries of Korean history, it is also historically significant as it is the location of royal administrative buildings, known as Yukjo-geori or Street of Six Ministries. Today, it features statues of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and of King Sejong the Great.
