Buyeo Naseong, Ancient city walls in Buyeo, South Korea.
Buyeo Naseong is an ancient city wall that stretches about 2.6 kilometers around the old Baekje capital. It combines stone and earthen construction that together enclosed the center of the ancient city.
The wall was built in the second half of the 4th century and was the main defense system of Baekje until its fall in 660. It played an important role in maintaining control of the region during that time.
The walls show how the Baekje people defended and organized their city. You can see from the remaining sections the building methods that were remarkable for that time.
You can explore the site on foot, as marked paths lead through the preserved sections. Information signs along the way explain the ancient defense systems and help you understand the layout.
The wall used a special light construction technique with compacted earth that allowed fast building without loss of quality. This method was unusual for that time and shows engineering skill.
