the ramblings of a student in Northern Ireland

Gongju

leave a comment »

Last weekend I went with some of the other IAESTEs to Gongju. Gongju was the capital of one of the ancient provinces of Korea, Baekje, and so is steeped in history. The city is scattered with all sorts of attractions, though the two main sights are the fortress and the tomb of King Muryeong, which was a major archeological find when workers discovered it by accident in the 1970s.

Anyway, some pictures!
