- Caption / Description:
-
Looking south down Sejongno (세종로) in Seoul (서울), South Korea (대한민국). Sejongno is named after King Sejong the Great, the fourth King of the Joseon dynasty, and creator of the Korean script, Hangeul.
Gwanghwamun Plaza was added to the center of Sejongno in 2008, with construction complete in August 2009. The addition of the Plaza reduced Sejongo from a total of 16 lanes to 10 lanes, at a cost of ₩47 billion. The plaza is named after the Gwanghwamun southern gate to Gyeongbokgung palace at the northern end of Sejongno.
