Traditional Seoul, Korea’s Ancient Capital

Dongnimmun Gate

Dongnimmun Gate (Independence Gate). It stands at a spot originally known as Yeongeun, where envoys were once treated. The gate was built following the first Sino-Japanese war to inspire a spirit of independence away from previous Korean arrangement as a Chinese tributary state. The Independence Gate was built in 1896-1897 to replace the Yeongeunmun Gate which was a symbol of diplomatic relations between Korea and Qing Dynasty.
