Samnyeonsanseong, Mountain fortress in Boeun County, South Korea
Description
Samnyeonsanseong is a mountain fortress in Boeun County that stretches for several kilometers along ridges. The stone walls link natural rock formations with constructed defensive structures, creating a large defensive system.
History
This fortress was built in the late 5th century and served as a key military post during conflicts between Korea's three kingdoms. The construction shows how early defense strategies combined geography with stone-building techniques.
Culture
The name refers to the three mountain peaks where this fortification was built. Visitors can still see how the walls follow the natural terrain and connect different elevation levels in a way that shaped how people moved through the land.
