Haengjusanseong Fortress

#seoulspots
A Testament to Civilian Courage (★★★★☆)
Haengjusanseong is renowned for the crucial participation of women in the defense. Legend states they carried stones and earth in their haengju (aprons) to supply the defending forces, a story commemorated at the site. This aspect makes the fortress unique, highlighting the total mobilization of the Joseon people. The site is an excellent destination for those interested in social history, showing how women's roles were critical in pivotal moments. The sheer scale of the historical event is humbling.
