Information Introduction The Haengjusanseong Fortress (행주산성, historic site no
56) atop Deogyangsan Mountain was the site of a major Korean victory against the enemy during the Japanese invasion 400 years ago
Women also participated in the dramatic battle, carrying stones in their aprons (haengju in Korean)
The original date and purpose of the fortress’ construction remains a mystery, but it is believed the construction dates back to the ancient Baekje period, as many relics from that era have been excavated by archeological surveys
Inside the fortress is Chungjangsa, a shrine paying tribute to General Gwon Yul who led the victorious effort
Transportation to the fortress has become much more convenient with the opening of the Jayuro road and the completion of the Haengju Bridge, making the fortress a popular destination on holidays
* Haengju Great Victory Festival Religious ceremonies and many other cultural events are held on March 14 every year in memory of General Gwon who won the battle and saved the nation
