Changdeokgung, Royal palace in Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea
The palace complex spans 57.9 hectares and features traditional Korean architecture with halls, pavilions, and gates arranged around a central courtyard.
Built in 1405 under King Taejong as a secondary palace, Changdeokgung endured multiple destructions during Japanese invasions before its rebuilding in 1610.
The Huijeongdang Hall and Daejojeon Hall exemplify the Joseon dynasty architectural style with their raised foundations and intricate wooden structures.
Visitors can access the palace through Donhwamun Gate, with guided tours available in multiple languages from 10:00 to 17:30 except Mondays.
The palace incorporates a 78-acre rear garden known as Huwon, containing centuries-old trees, ponds, and pavilions designed for royal family use.
