Founded in 57 BC, Gwangju is located in the heart of the Jeollanam-do region. Gwangju has two nicknames: "the city of light" and "the home of the arts". Historically, it has always played this role of hope and light during the dark periods of South Korea. Koreans regard it as the cradle of democracy. This metropolis is also the Korean and Asian capital of the arts. At the initiative of the government, Gwangju is culturally vibrant. It has established itself as a crossroads for the promotion and sharing of arts from the Asian continent. It regularly hosts major artistic events such as a contemporary art biennial and the Fringe Festival. While in Gwangju, be sure to visit the city's many art and history museums and memorials.
