Doksanseong, Korean fortress in Sema-dong, South Korea.
The stone fortress extends over 75,254 square meters with a circumference of 1,100 meters and includes four entrance gates at different cardinal points.
Built before 373 during the Baekje period, Doksanseong gained recognition when General Gwon Yul successfully defended against Japanese forces during the 1593 invasion.
The fortress contains the Bujek Buddhist Temple and Semadae monument, which represent the intersection of military defense and religious practices in Korean society.
Visitors can reach the fortress through public transportation and explore the ancient walls, gates, and structures while learning about Korean military architecture.
According to historical records, General Kwon Yul deceived the Japanese army by washing a white horse with rice to demonstrate apparent water abundance.
