Information
Introduction
Gwanghwamun Square is a public square with over 600 years of history. Located at the center of Sejong-ro Road, it focuses on people first, cars later. With Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bugaksan Mountain in the background, the square restored the past, serving as a cultural and historical space. Various statues and structures were reproduced to bring back the historical look.
