Busanjinseong, Military fortress in Beomil-dong, South Korea.

Description

Busanjinseong is a stone fortification in Beomil-dong that stretches across strategic positions overlooking Busan. The walls follow traditional Korean military architecture principles with multiple sections for defensive positions.

History

The fortress was built in 1593 during the Japanese invasions and served as a command post for Japanese forces under Mori Terumoto. It marks a turning point in the region's military history and reflects the conflicts of that era.

Culture

The fortress shows construction methods from the late Joseon period, blending Korean and Japanese building techniques. Walking along the walls, visitors can observe how different stonework styles were used side by side.

Practical

The fortress is easily accessible by public transportation, with several bus stops and subway stations within walking distance of the entrance. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since walking the walls involves uneven terrain.
