The facts
Seodaemun Independence Park was built on the grounds of what used to be a prison for freedom fighters and activists during the Japanese occupation. Much of the prison was relocated to Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do in 1987 but seven of the buildings were left behind to become a museum and an educational site for future generations.
The area surrounding the prison museum is now well maintained and lush with green areas, walking paths and statues commemorating the path to independence.The area became a park in 1988 and the monuments and statues were relocated and erected here in 1992. One of the biggest things to stand out in the park is Dongnimmun Gate which was built in 1897.
Amenities: Bathrooms and concessions
