- Caption / Description:
-
A group of tourists gathered in the shadow of Injeongmun gate are silhouetted against the bright courtyard in Changdeokgung palace. At the other end of the courtyard can be seen Injeongjeon, the throne hall of Changdeokgung.
Changdeokgung was built as a secondary palace to the main palace of Gyeongbokgung by King Taejong in 1405. The site was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and is a popular tourist attraction. It is located in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, and has been under restoration since 1991.
The current building of Injeongjeon dates from 1804 after the previous building was burned down by fire in 1803. It appears to have two stories when viewed from outside, but is actually a single storey building with a high ceiling. During the Japanese colonial period the building was modified to a more western style, with a wooden floor, lights, curtains, and glass windows added. Copper plum motifs, the symbol of Joseon Dynasty royalty after the implementation of modernization reforms in 1894, were also added to the building's roof ridge.
