Fortress Wall of Seoul
The Fortress Wall of Seoul (hangul: 한양도성; hanja: 漢陽都城) is a series of defensive wall made of stone, wood and other materials, built to protect the city of Seoul against invaders. The wall was first built in 1396 to defend and show the boundaries of the city, surrounding Hanyang (hangul: 한양; hanja: 漢陽; the old name for Seoul) in the Joseon Dynasty. At that time, it was called ''Hansung'' (hangul: 한성; hanja: 漢城). The wall stretches 18.6 km along the ridge of Seoul's four inner mountains, Baegaksan, Naksan, Namsan, and Inwangsan. At present, a 12-km section of the wall is designated as Historic Site No. 10 (1963) and is protected accordingly, along with the gates, water gates, and signal fire mounds. Certain sections of the walls have undergone extensive restoration work, having sustained damage or been entirely destroyed at various times in the city’s past.

In 1395, just five years after King Taejo founded the Joseon Dynasty, King Taejo established a government office ((hangul: 도성축조도감; hanja: 都城築造都監) ) to build a castle to defend Seoul, and he ordered Jeong Do-jeon to search for and measure a site.
On January 1, 1396 (by the lunar calendar), Taejo of Joseon held the groundbreaking ceremony. One hundred ninety seven thousand four hundred young men were placed under requisition over two years and completed building the castle 98 days after the war along the mountains Bugaksan, Naksan, Namsan, and Inwangsan. The wall contained eight gates, all of which were originally constructed between 1396 and 1398.
