Catholic Pilgrimage Site: Jinmokjeong in Gyeongju

Today, we introduce Jinmokjeong, a Catholic pilgrimage site located in Gyeongju.

This site is renowned for its Martyrs Memorial Church.

Situated in Sannae-myeon, Gyeongju, Jinmokjeong is believed to be a place where Catholic believers sought refuge after the Sinyu Persecution of 1801, along with nearby locations such as Tapgol and Sangseonpil.

From around 1850, it is said that Father Choi Yang-eop, followed by Bishop Daveluy and Father Ridel, conducted missionary tours in this area.

Currently, the site features the cave where martyrs hid, the Jinmokjeong chapel, and the gravesite where three martyrs were buried together.
