Mountain fortress in Bukhansan National Park, north of Seoul. Its current stone walls were raised in 1711, under King Sukjong of the Joseon dynasty, to protect the capital in case of invasion. The site is explored by following the wall, with gates and sections that climb to the ridges of the massif and offer views of the city and of the park's granite peaks.
