Donhwamun (Gate) (Jongno-gu)

Korea (South) / Soul / Seoul / Jongno-gu

Donhwamun (Gate) two-storied building is the main entrance to the Changdeokgung palace complex. Donhwamun is elegant but simple because it was built as an entrance to a separate palace of the Changdeokgung palace.

The Donhwamun was set on fire by the Japanese invaders but it was reconstructed, as it originally appeared, in 1607. It's the oldest entrance to remain in Seoul.

Donhwamun is Treasure #383.
