Information Introduction The historical site of Hangpaduri is where the Sambyeolcho military unit of the Goryeo Dynasty resisted the invasion of Mongolia until the last possible moment
The site houses an exhibition hall, a monument, and a unique mud fortress
Nearby is Jangsumul Spring (Jangsu means general) which flowed from the footprints of General Kim Tong-jeong
Today, water from the spring cannot be used as drinking water
Sambyeolcho was a military unit of the Goryeo Dynasty
When the Goryeo Dynasty made peace with the Mongolian forces in February 1270 (the 11th year of King Wonjong), the Sambyeolcho special defense unit opposed it and launched a resistance movement
They moved their base to Jindo in Jeollanam-do but after suffering a huge defeat, they moved to Jeju-do and built Hangpaduseong Fortress
They continued to fight against the Mongolian forces for two more years there
However, all the members were killed in April 1273 (the 14th year of King Wonjong)
This independent anti-Mongolian movement was born out the deeply patriotic belief in the need to safeguard the nation from foreign invasion
In 1977, the government invested 745 million won to restore part of the fortress and build a monument in commemoration of those who died in the war
The work was completed in June 1978
