Geumjeongsanseong, Mountain fortress in Geumjeong District, South Korea
The stone walls of Geumjeongsanseong stretch for 18.8 kilometers along mountain ridges, incorporating four gates and four watchtowers for defensive purposes.
Built in 1703 during the Joseon Dynasty under Governor Jo Tae-dong, this fortress served as a military installation to protect the region from potential invasions.
The fortress includes preserved architectural elements that demonstrate Korean military engineering techniques, from gate designs to strategic watchtower placement.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the fortress complex, with the East Gate providing the most convenient entry point at 415 meters elevation.
The Command Post, situated at 475 meters above sea level, contains original stone foundations that enabled surveillance across Busan and surrounding territories.
