Gyeongbokgung Palace became the first residence of Korea's new Joseon Dynasty in 1395.
During the war with Japan (1592-1598) the palace was almost completely destroyed; however, it was restored in the middle of the 19th century and again became the residence of the Korean kings.
The palace is the architectural center of the northern part of the city of Seoul and impresses both with its size and extraordinary symmetry.
You will not only be able to capture yourself against the background of classical palace architecture, but also hear an entertaining story from our guide about the history, palace culture, the customs of the royal family, the symbolic meaning of the material attributes of the palace.
