The paved area outside the N Seoul Tower (엔 서울타워) at the top of Mount Namsan (남산) in Seoul (서울). From here you can also see a Palgak-jeong (팔각정), which is an octagonal pavilion.
The N Seoul Tower was built in 1969, and was first opened to the public on October 15, 1980. The tower was remodelled in 2005, at a cost of ₩15 billion. Upon re-opening in December 2005, the tower was given its current name 'N Seoul Tower', with the 'N' standing for 'New'. Previously it was known as just the Seoul Tower or Namsan Tower.
