Palacio Gyeongbokgung (경복궁)

1.5Km 2025-05-13

Sajik-ro 161, Jongno-gu, Seúl

Gyeongbokgung fue el palacio principal durante la dinastía Joseon (1392-1910). Es uno de los cinco palacios de Seúl y ostenta 600 años de historia. Fue edificado en 1395 por el monarca que fundó la dinastía Joseon, Lee Seong-Gye, cuando trasladó la sede de la capital de la era Goryeo hasta Seúl. Al estar situado en la parte norte de Seúl, solía ser llamado también como “Palacio del Norte”.

El palacio Gyeongbokgung tiene 501.676 metros cuadrados de superficie, dispuestos en forma de rectángulo. En el lado sur se halla la entrada principal, Gwanghwamun. Al norte, Sinmumun; al este, Yeongchumun; y al oeste, Geonchunmun. Dentro del palacio se encuentran pabellones como Geunjeongjeon, Gyotaejeon, Jagyeongjeon, Gyeonghoeru y Hyangwonjeong.

Geunjeongjeon, la sala principal, era el lugar en donde se realizaban las ceremonias oficiales y los funcionarios rendían los informes matutinos ante el rey. Frente al patio interno, se encuentran trazados tres senderos de granito. El del medio, levemente más elevado, era el trayecto por donde caminaba el monarca y los de los lados eran para su Corte. En el patio se levantan a cada lado los pumgyeseok (estelas de piedra con los cargos de los funcionarios públicos).

Jagyeongjeon y Gyotaejeon eran las residencias de la madre del rey y la reina, respectivamente. Jagyeongjeon es famoso por su muro con flores y por su sipjangsaeng-gulttuk (bajorrelieve de la chimenea). La gulttuk tiene el reconocimiento de ser una de las chimeneas más bellas construidas durante el período Joseon y se encuentra en la lista de los Tesoros Nacionales.

Gyotaejeon eran los aposentos de la reina, y el muro y la entrada posterior, que dan al monte Amisan, son particularmente atractivos a la vista. Además de esto, lo que acentúa aún más la elegancia del palacio Gyeongbokgung son sus estanques de flores de loto, Gyeonghoeru y Hyangwonjeoung.

Gyeonghoeru era el lugar en donde se reunían los dignatarios extranjeros y en donde se celebraban fiestas especiales cuando ocurrían buenos acontecimientos en la nación.

Hyangwonjeong es un espacio dentro del patio posterior, que se halla detrás de los aposentos. Al igual que Gyeonghoeru tiene un estanque de flores de loto; pero a diferencia del mismo, posee características distintivamente femeninas. Su arquitectura aprovecha muy bien la geografía de los alrededores del monte Amisan y toda el área se funde en una gran belleza, un ejemplo perfecto de la estructura tradicional de los palacios coreanos.

Asimismo, dentro de Gyeongbokgung hay una biblioteca, Sujeongjeon, en donde los funcionarios tenían largas horas de lectura y el Sajeongjeon, la oficina de trabajo del rey. Además, hay numerosas reliquias históricas designadas como patrimonios culturales. Muchas de ellas fueron traídas desde todos los lugares de la nación, y se pueden mencionar, como ejemplo, la torre de piedra de 10 pisos del templo Gyeongcheonsa, la torre Jigwangguksa-Hyeonmo del templo Beomcheonsa, el reloj Cheonsang de Borugak y el reloj de agua de Heumgyeonggak, entre otras.

En 1910, cuando se firmó el Tratado de Corea y Japón, los japoneses, tras ocupar la península, tiraron abajo todos los pabellones del área sur y levantaron allí su Gobernación. El edificio japonés fue desmantelado a fines del siglo XX y el palacio sigue en proceso de restauración.

También conocido como Parque Pagoda, el Parque Tapgol, localizado al lado del templo Weongaksa de la era Joseon, es el primer parque moderno construido en Seúl. El remplo Weongaksa era conocido como templo Heungboksa durante la dinastía Goryeo, pero fue renombrado cuando fue ampliado durante los inicios de la era Joseon. Sin embargo, fue destruido durante el reinado de Yeonsangun y Jungjong debido a la fuerte política de represión hacia el budismo. Más adelante, un parque occidental fue contruido a propuesta del inglés John Mcleavy Brown, pero no hay información precisa sobre la razón y la fecha. El parque contiene varios tesoros nacionales, incluidas la placa que conmemora el movimiento independentista Wongaksaji y la estatua de Byeong-hee. El parque es de gran valor histórico y un espíritu nacional al ser el punto de inicio de la Protesta de Independencia del 1° de mayo de 1919.
