Baekje Historic Areas, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gongju, Buyeo, and Iksan, South Korea.

The Baekje Historic Areas contain eight archaeological sites featuring fortresses, temples, and royal tombs across three cities in southwest South Korea.

From 18 BCE to 660 CE, the Baekje Kingdom developed these locations as capitals, building defensive structures and establishing cultural exchanges with China and Japan.

The architectural elements of temples, pagodas, and fortifications demonstrate the fusion of Korean construction methods with Chinese and Japanese influences.

Visitors can reach all sites through guided tours departing from Seoul, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable conditions for exploration.

The Royal Tomb of King Muryeong contains 4,600 preserved artifacts, providing detailed insights into ancient Korean burial traditions and royal ceremonies.
