Gwanghwamun est la porte principale du Palais Gyeongbukgung, fondé en 1395, par le premier empereur de la dynastie Joseon, Taejo.


C’est la porte du sud parmi les quatre portes de la capitale sud-coréenne. Son nom signifie “Que la Lumière de l’Illumination recouvre le Monde!” et elle porte le but profond que les gens qui ont fondé la dynastie Joseon avait, en créant une nouvelle dynastie.


La Porte Gwanghwamun a été construite de granite. Au centre, il y a une entrée ressemblant à un arc-en-ciel, appelée Hongyemun, et au-dessus, se trouve la tour de la porte. La Porte Gwanghwamun renferme un souvenir douloureux dans l’histoire de la Corée. Durant l’ occupation japonaise de la Corée, de façon à tuer les esprits des citoyens coréens, le général du gouvernement japonais avait détruit la porte et construit son propre bâtiment gouvernemental. L’apparence réelle de la porte est celle de 1968 lorsqu’elle a été reconstruite en utilisant du béton, et elle est située environ à 10m derrière le point d’origine. Pour restituer la forme d'origine de la porte, le gouvernement a entrepris des travaux d'aménagement à partir de 2006, ces travaux se sont terminés le 15 août en 2010.
