This was the location of the palace fortress during the Shilla Dynasty (57 BC ~ AD 935).
The fortress takes after its name, which, literally translated, means 'a crescent moon shape on top of a hill'.
The famous history books of Samgukyusa mention that Shilla’s 4th King Seoktalhae (AD 57~80) thought this area was an ideal spot for the fortress and bought the land from a nobleman.
The 2nd King Namhae (AD 4~24) impressed by Seoktalhae’s actions, took him in as his son-in-law, later, becoming the 4th king.
The area was then under Shilla’s rule for 900 years, the last king being the 56th, Gyeongsoon (AD 927~935).
Although the magnificent grandeur of the palace is now just an empty lot, it has been told that this area was filled with imperial buildings during the Shilla Dynasty.
