Traveler highlights
Sungnyemun (Namdaemun) is a gate in central Seoul and Korea’s National Treasure No. 1, widely regarded as a national symbol. It stands by Namdaemun Market, so historic architecture meets a lively market district. In 2008, arson destroyed the wooden pavilion; the stone base survived. Reconstruction took five years and finished in 2013. The stone foundation and rebuilt wooden pavilion reveal the gate’s structure and preservation history. Sungnyemun carries the memory of a national symbol as well as an old city gate.
