Seoul Plaza, Public square in Jung District, Seoul, South Korea
Seoul Plaza is a public square in front of Seoul City Hall in Jung District, Seoul. It features a large oval lawn bordered by pale paving, with a light grey stone building behind it and a dark glass structure above.
The site was originally a traffic square and was redeveloped into a public plaza in 2004. It has since been a stage for civic events and commemorations.
The lawn is a popular spot for picnics and gatherings, and in winter it turns into an ice rink. Locals often meet here for festivals and events, making it a lively part of city life.
The square is easy to reach on foot from City Hall Station and serves as a starting point for exploring nearby sights. It is a smoke-free zone, so keep that in mind while walking through.
Beneath the plaza lies an underground water tank that collects rainwater for the lawn's sprinklers. The square also has a historic drainage channel that is recognized for its engineering value.
