Yi Seong-gye (1335-1408), le fondateur de la dynastie Joseon, déplaça la capitale à Hanyang (l’ancien nom de Séoul) et construisit Gyeongbokgung, le premier palace de la dynastie. Terminé en 1395, Gyeongbokgung fut le premier palais royal où le roi non seulement résidait mais aussi dirigeait le pays. Edifié sur les principes du feng shui de l’époque, le site choisi était entouré des montagnes Bugaksan, Namsan, Inwangsan et Naksan. Le palais est exposé au sud pour bénéficier de la plus longue exposition au soleil avec les montagnes derrière qui bloquent les vents froids du Nord.
En tant que palais royal, son architecture représente ce qui se faisait de mieux à l’époque. La porte Gwanghwamun, la porte Heungnyemun et le hall du trône Geunjeongjeon furent construit dans un style grandiose pour représenter la dignité et l’honneur de la nation.

La palais Gyeongbokgung possède de nombreux atouts culturels : ses murs en pierre, ses toits et ses statues Haetae reflètent le degré d’avancement architectural de la dynastie Joseon. Le pavillon Gyeonghoeru (où se tenaient des banquets pour les délégations étrangères et pour le roi et ses dignitaires) et le bassin Hyangwonjeong (un endroit pour la détente) sont considérés comme les plus beaux exemples du genre en Corée.
Ne manquez pas de visiter le Musée national folklorique situé à proximité après votre visite du palais (entrée gratuite).
