City Wall?
Embracing Korean history is engraved in Seoul City Wall. The wall preserves a succession of building
technics and structure developed by the Korean people from the Three Kingdoms period onwards. It also shows
Seoul City Wall was originally built about 620 years ago. The actual construction work continued
for 98 days, half in the winter and half in the summer of 1394. Some 197,400 people were mobilized for the
construction of the wall, which was divided into 97 sections of around 600 feet. The sections were named in the
order of the characters in the Thousand Character Classic, a primer for teaching Sino-Korean. Workers from same
counties and prefectures were assigned to a specific section. Originally, wall sections on flat ground were built of
rammed earth, while those on mountainous terrain were built of stone. However, in 1422, the earthen sections of
the wall were replaced with stone as well. In 1704, another massive restoration and rebuilding project was carried
out, as parts of the wall had collapsed over the course of time. And since then several restorations have been carried
out, too. During the construction of the wall, records of the works were inscribed on the stone blocks of the wall.
Seoul City Wall lost a large part of its former appearance during the country’s modernization.
In 1899, the first tram lines were built to connect Seoul with outlying communities, and the wall gates lost their
original function. Thereafter, the wall connected to the gates were demolished for the expansion of the city’s road
networks from 1907. In the Japanese colonial period, Japanese governors deliberately dismantled the wall gates
or neglected to be damaged. Donuimun and Souimun Gate were dismantled and Gwanghuimun and Hyehwamun
Gate were seriously damaged. Also the wall was damaged in that local residents built their houses too near to it.
After Korean liberation from Japan, the wall continued to be damaged in the rush of modernization.
Reconstruction of Seoul City Wall began at a site around Sukjeongmun Gate, behind the
presidential residence, shortly after a unit of the North Korean Special Forces infiltrated Seoul on 21
January 1968. That project was extended to the entire wall section from 1974. However, the integrity of Seoul
City Wall was damaged in places as conservation and restoration works were overly focused on rejoining severed
sections. Seoul Metropolitan Government fully recognized these problems, and established the department
exclusively responsible for the wall, Seoul City Wall Division in September 2012. And the city government drew up
master plan for the conservation and management of Seoul City Wall in accordance with the criteria for UNESCO
World Heritage Sites in October 2013.
As of 2014, some 70% (12.8km) of entire Seoul City Wall has been restored, and Sukjeongmun,
Gwanghuimun, and Hyehwamun were rebuilt, although Gwanghuimun and Hyehwamun had to be put on
locations near their original sites.

City Wall?
Cradling Seoul City Wall, which protected Seoul for some 600 years, closely affected the daily life of
the people inside. Residents were informed of the opening and closing times of the city gates by the sound of
Life the bell hanging in Bosingak belfry on Jongno. The bell was struck thirty-three times to lift the curfew in the early
morning and twenty-eight times to announce the curfew in the evening. The gates of private houses were opened
and closed according to the tolling of the bell, so the opening and closing times of the city gates controlled the
rhythm of the citizen’s life.
Seoul City Wall was also a boundary between life and death. Everyone who died, whether king
or commoner, had to be buried outside the wall. Thus, living within the wall signified life itself to the people in
Seoul.
Seoul City Wall represented the capital itself. People headed towards the capital from countryside
would see the wall in the distance and realized they were nearing their destination. The wall meant something
different to the scholars who traveled to the capital to take the state examinations, success in which would land
them a government post. Some of those candidates, hoping to pass the exam, would walk around the entire wall.
This practice became popular among local residents and developed into a traditional amusement going around
the wall and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Seoul City Wall helped unite the capital with its suburbs. Quarrying was prohibited inside the
wall, stones used for the wall had to be supplied from outside. Although the wall was built on the ridges of Mts.
Baegak, Nakta, Mongmyeok, and Inwang, the stone materials came from areas around Mts. Bukhansan and
Achasan outside the wall.
The capital defense system was anchored by Seoul City Wall. The wall alone was insufficient for
defending the capital. during times of external invasion or civil rebellion, the wall was never used for the purpose
of defense. Therefore, people commonly complained about all the work to build the wall in that is useless. On
September 11, 1971 in lunar calender, King Yeongjo proclaimed the decree on guarding the walls, declaring, “In
an emergency, I will be the first to go up to the fortified wall to defend the city with the people.” Moreover, the king
assigned each defense section to a community inside the wall so that they could protect their own section with
their own weapons in event of an emergency.
