Walls and roofs, Changdeokgung palace
Caption / Description:

Walls and buildings in the Gwolnaegaksa area of Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Changdeokgung is a Joseon dynasty palace, founded in 1405 by King Taejong. Gwolnaegaksa is an area where government buildings were located within the palace.

Gwolnaegaksa was destroyed and paved over with roads during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The current buildings were rebuilt between 1991 and 2005 as part of a project to restore Changdeokgung to its original state. In 1997 Changdeokgung was awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO.
