Namhansanseong, Mountain fortress in Gyeonggi, South Korea.
The fortress walls extend for 12 kilometers across mountain peaks, incorporating stone barriers, gates, and military structures at an elevation of 480 meters.
King Injo ordered the construction of Namhansanseong in 1624 as a response to regional conflicts, employing 3000 Buddhist monk soldiers for its development.
The fortress architecture combines building techniques from Korean, Japanese, and Chinese traditions, reflecting military engineering advances of the 17th century.
Visitors can access the site via Line 8 of the Seoul subway to Sanseong station, followed by a local bus to the fortress entrance.
The fortress served as an emergency capital during the Joseon Dynasty, with facilities to accommodate 4000 people within its defensive perimeter.
