About
Jongmyo is the royal shrine that houses the spirit tablets of the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty, as well as those of kings and queens who were posthumously granted royal titles. Recognized for its cultural and architectural value, the Jongmyo shrine buildings were inscribed as a World Cultural Heritage site by resolution of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee at its regular session in December 1995. Inside the park, a well from which Joseon kings are said to have drunk when visiting Jongmyo has been recreated, along with a statue of Wolnam Yi Sang-jae and a green space with amenities. Spanning 39,669㎡ (about 12,000 pyeong) in front of Jongmyo and equipped with parking, Jongmyo Plaza Park is a popular place for Seoul residents to relax.
