• Information
  Introduction
  Pungnammun Gate was built in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty (1768) and was designated Treasure No. 308. Of the four original city gates, this is the only one left standing (located in the southern portion of the city). The structure was partially destroyed during the Japanese invasion of 1592-1598 and was not repaired until 1978. Jungcheung and mullu are located at the center of gate lending to the arch-like features. The round features aid in the protection capabilities of Pungnammun Gate, as well as the overall grandeur.
