Pungnaptoseong, Earthen fortress ruins in Pungnap-dong, Seoul, South Korea

The ancient fortification stretches over 3.5 kilometers along the Han River, featuring walls constructed with layers of sandy soil, grit, and clay materials.

The fortress served as part of Hanam Wiryeseong, the first capital city of the Baekje Kingdom from 18 BCE until its destruction by Goguryeo forces in 475 CE.

Archaeological excavations at Pungnaptoseong uncovered numerous artifacts and structures that document the daily life and traditions of the Baekje civilization.

Visitors can explore the remaining 2.7 kilometers of preserved walls, which rise 5 meters high and demonstrate ancient engineering techniques from the Baekje period.

The fortress walls incorporate a sophisticated three-layer pebble system within their structure, topped with trimmed stones reaching heights of 1.5 meters.
