Beautiful Buildings in Hwaseong Fortress

The construction period of Hwaseong was between Jan. 1794 (18th year of King Jeongjo, the 22nd king of Joseon Dynasty) and Sep. 1796 King Jeongjo moved the tomb of his father, Crown Prince Jangheon(A.K.A.: Crown Prince Sado), from Mt. Baebong in Yangju to Mt. Hwa in Suwon (Hwaseong city, now) and established Yongjusa Temple in this vicinity to pray for the souls of the dead. All the government offices and private houses that had been located under Mt. Hwa were moved to the lower part of Mt. Paldal and Suwonbu was promoted to Yusubu-it became current Suwon. Hwaseong is known as a masterpiece in the history of fortification. It consists of 41 facilities, however, 7 facilities have not been restored. Hwaseong, constructed about 210 years ago, has the most modern scale and function.
