Jeoldu-san, Memorial and pilgrimage site in Hapjeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea
Jeoldu-san extends across a rocky elevation near the Han River, featuring a shrine, museum, and monument spaces dedicated to Korean Catholic martyrs.
The site marked the location of mass executions during the 1860s, where approximately 8,000 Korean Catholic converts lost their lives under Daewon-gun rule.
The memorial houses 3,000 religious artifacts and documents that detail the growth of Christianity in Korea through various historical periods.
Visitors can reach the memorial via Hapjeong Station or Sangsu Station, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout operating hours.
The memorial received international recognition when Pope John Paul II visited in 1984, followed by Mother Teresa's visit the subsequent year.
