Sneak peek - how Joseon’s main palace Gyeongbokgung was destroyed and brought back to life!

Gyeongbokgung, or Gyeongbok Palace, is an iconic landmark in central Seoul. The compound looks stunning in all seasons, by day or lit up at night. But it also has a rich and often turbulent past since being built in 1395. It was the main Joseon dynasty palace until a fire destroyed it in the late 1500s. In the 1800s, it was restored – before being destroyed again by Imperial Japan during the first half of the 20th century. Now, we can celebrate the 30th anniversary of excavation and restoration work at Gyeongbokgung
