GORYEOGUNG PALACE SITE

It is the place where the people of Goryo resisted the Mongol invasion of 1231 for 39 years. King Gojong moved his capital there because of the strategic advantages the site had. He felt safe there. But four centuries later, in 1637, the palace was lost following a Manchu invasion. Nowadays, the only buildings that can be seen are the Dongheon and Ibangcheong offices, which belonged to local officials.
