Gwanghwamun Square, which can be called the center of Seoul, is a place that every tourist must visit at least once. Since Gwanghwamun Square is located right in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, it is good to visit it together with Gyeongbokgung Palace.
How to get Gwanghwamun Square.

Gwanghwamun, the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, means that light shines widely. For more information about Gyeongbokgung Palace, see the article below.

At Gwanghwamun Square, there are statues of Korea's greatest figures, King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
King Sejong the Great, a king of the Joseon Dynasty, is widely known to foreigners as the creator of Hangeul. In front of the statue, various instruments invented by King Sejong are also displayed, so it is good to see them together. And in the basement, there is an exhibition to learn about King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-sin, so please visit.
**Hangul is the Korean alphabet.**
Admiral Yi Sun-sin was a general of the Joseon Dynasty who defended the country against Japan during the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. He is a naval general who protects the sea, and is a great man famous for turning the tide of battle even when he was outnumbered by creating a warship called the Turtle Ship(Geobukseon).
I hope you stop by Gwanghwamun Square to take commemorative photos and visit the exhibition hall. :)
