Information Introduction Geumjeongsanseong Fortress (금정산성) is located on the peak of Mt
Geumjeongsan (801
5m) in Busan
Its original name was Dongrae Mountain Fortress, but it was changed because of its location
Its length is 17,377m, and 1
5m~3m high; it is the largest fortress in Korea
But now there is only a 4 km section remaining from the original
The exact time of the fortification is not recorded, but in reference to the location and size, it is presumed to have been built during the Three Kingdoms Era (when Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, the three dynasties, were fighting against each other)
The present fortress was built in 1703, during the reign of Suk-Jong
It was built after Imjin Waeran (Japanese Invasion of Korea from 1592~1598) to prepare for any further invasions from Japan
It was first built with stones and was renovated in 1707
During the dark years under Japanese sovereignty it was damaged and devastated
In 1971, it was designated as private property
The West, East and South Gates have been reintegrated, and it is still undergoing the restoration process
On the fortress barbican there is Munru (watch tower)
There is another watch tower called Mangru to watch for enemies
Different from other mountains, it is easy to find spring water here, and because it is a granite area, you can easily see rock caves and small and big rock peaks at Mt
Geumjeongsan
