Gwanghwamun Square is a significant public space that serves as the gateway to the city's iconic Gyeongbokgung Palace. This expansive square is adorned with historic statues, including the statue of King Sejong the Great, and provides a picturesque setting for cultural events, gatherings, and leisurely strolls, while offering panoramic views of Seoul's historic landmarks and the Bukhansan Mountain in the background. Recently rebuilt, Gwanghwamun Square now showcases a modern and revitalized design, blending the rich history of Seoul with contemporary aesthetics, making it a captivating destination for locals and tourists alike.
