Gwanghwamun Plaza / 광화문 광장
The Gwanghwamun area was once the center of the capital of the Joseon Dynasty, which at that time was called Hanyang instead of Seoul. On August 1, a plaza in the middle of Gwanghwamun area opened to the public, turning this area into one of the major landmarks of Seoul. Gwanghwamun Plaza contains various monuments that celebrate this area’s rich history that stretches from the beginning of the Joseon dynasty until today.
Gwanghwamun Plaza is directly connected to Gwanghwamun subway station (line 5) by an undergound passageway called the Haechi Madang. On entering the passageway, visitors will encounter a Haechi sculpture. Haechi is a mythical creature from Korea’s folklore, which has been designated as the symbol of Seoul. This street was built between 1392 and 1398 by King Taejo, the 1st ruler of the Joseon Dynasty, when he designated Hanyang (now called Seoul) as the nation’s capital city. The street was excavated in September 2008. The model shows how roads were constructed during the Joseon Dynasty.
When visitors exit the passageway into Gwanghwamum Plaza, they will see the raised statue of Admiral Yi Sun-Shin (1545~1598), an important hero of Korea. The statue is surrounded by many fountains, which at night are lit with by a dazzling light display.
On either side of the statue are streams, which are also believed to have flown along “Yukjo Street” in the past. Major historical events that took place between 1392 and 2008 are engraved on the stone floor of the streams. The streams flow into the Cheonggyecheon Stream.
A new feature of Gwanghwamun Plaza is the statue of King Sejong the Great (1397~1450), who invented the Korean alphabet (Hangeul). This statue will stand about 250 meters north of the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-Shin. The statue was unveiled October 9, Hangeul Day.
