- Caption / Description:
-
Looking east across the area in front of Seonwonjeon, in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Ahead can be seen Bochunmun gate, which leads to Yangjidang, a building where the king would stay the night before ancestral rites were to be performed at Seonwonjeon. The large building further back is Injeongjeon, the royal throne room where major state affairs such as the coronation of a new king or receiving of foreign envoys would take place.
Changdeokgung, originally built in 1405, is a UNESCO world heritage site. It was built as a secondary palace to the main palace of Gyeongbokgung. Because of its location to the east of the palace, Changdeokgung, along with the adjacent palace of Chnaggyeonggung, is sometimes known as the East Palace. The literal meaning of the name Changdeokgung is "Palace of Prospering Virtue".
