Royal tombs in Songsan-ri

The Songsan-ri tombs contain seven royal burial chambers situated on a hillside, featuring both stone and brick construction methods from the Baekje period.

The tombs, built during the Ungjin period between 475-538 CE, include the burial chamber of King Muryeong, discovered intact in 1971 during drainage work.

The burial chambers demonstrate the exchange between ancient Korean and Chinese architectural styles through their distinct stone and brick construction techniques.

The tombs open daily from 09:00 to 18:00, with admission fees of 3,000 won for adults, 2,000 won for teenagers, and 1,000 won for children.

Excavations revealed 4,600 artifacts, including gold ornaments, weapons, and a memorial stone confirming King Muryeong's identity in his untouched tomb.
