At that time, Catholics were executed outside Haemieupseong Fortress' Seomun Gate (West Gate).
As it was difficult to execute them one by one, the martyrs were buried alive in a big hole all at once.
When confronted with their death, the martyrs prayed while singing 'Yesumaria' (Jesus Maria).
Because is also sounds like "Yeosumeori" (여수머리), the place was called 'Yeosutgol' as well.The 16-meter-high memorial tower was set set up near Haemicheon Stream to pay tribute to the nameless martyrs wo were buried alive.
Many Catholics visit this location every year to remember and honor the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their belief.
