  Column detail of PalGakJung, located at Topgal Park near the Jonggak shopping district.

  PalGakJung was constructed in 1897. On March 1, 1919, the Korean
  Declaration of Independence was recited here, and the March 1st
  Movement started. In 1910, Japan invaded Korea and colonzed it. Korea
  became a free country once again in 1945 following the defeat of Japan
  by the United States, ending World War II.

  

  DaeWonGak Sabi, Topgal Park- roof detail of a temple constructed in
  1465. The magnolia trees are magnificent. Too bad it was a cloudy day
  when I was there snapping pictures.
