Sukjeongmun, City gate at Samcheong-dong, South Korea
Built within the Seoul City Wall, Sukjeongmun features stone foundations topped with wooden structures and traditional tiled roofs with extended eaves.
Constructed in 1396 during the Joseon Dynasty, this northern gate underwent reconstruction in 1976 after the original wooden gatehouse was destroyed by fire.
The name changed from Sukcheongmun to Sukjeongmun in the early 16th century, reflecting its role as the Gate of Peaceful Governance.
The gate operates from 09:00 to 18:00 between March and October, and from 10:00 to 17:00 from November to February, requiring identification for entry.
Following security concerns after the 1968 Blue House Raid, the gate remained closed to the public until its reopening for guided tours in 2007.
