Information Introduction Odusanseong Fortress (오두산성) is built around the strategic summit of the mountain
Its walls stretch across roughly 620 meters and were built during the Baekje Dynasty
The fortress is built on the intersection of the Imjingang River (임진강) and the Hangang River (한강) on the summit of Odusan Mountain (오두산, 119 meters)
The mountain’s slope is steep and stones used in the construction of the fortress walls are scattered here and there at the summit
These scattered stones are evidence that the fortress underwent repairs several times during the Samguk (Three Kingdoms) era and the Joseon Dynasty, as these stones were evidently quarried and used to mend the fortress walls
Excavations have discovered a great deal of earthenware, white porcelain, tile, and iron arrowheads
Topographically, the fortress sits on a prime strategic junction and the Unification Observatory has been situated there as well
The fortress stands as an important object of study concerning fortifications and structures from the Baekje Dynasty
It has been recorded on the stele of King Gwanggaeto, samguksagi (History of the Three Kingdoms), in the baekjebongi (Baekje Annals) and on daedongyeojido (Map of Korea) that the fortress was the Gwanmi Fortress of Baekje, attracting many scholars and researchers interested in this period
