Located west of the Government Complex-Seoul on the southeastern foothills of Mt
Inwang, the park measures an impressive 188,710m²
The name of the park dates back to 1395 when Taejo Lee Sung-gye made the first Sajikdan (altar to the State deities) along with the Jongmyo Shrine (Royal Ancestral Shrine) at the center of the park
"Sa" refers to the deity of the earth while "jik" refers to the deity of the five grains
Rites wishing for a good harvest were held regularly at the Sajikdan
