About Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung, in Seoul, South Korea, is a former royal palace. Established in 1395, it served as the Joseon dynasty's first royal palace and was among the earliest landmarks established in the city. The name means "great blessings palace". The official Chŏng Tojŏn named it around the time of its establishment, drawing on the last two characters of a verse in the Classic of Poetry. It has also been called Bukgwol, meaning "north palace", a name used relative to the city's other palaces.
The palace flourished during the reign of Sejong the Great, from 1418 to 1450. Under Sejong it hosted scientific devices: the Borugak Jagyeongnu water clock, the astronomical observatory Ganuidae and a movable-type printing facility. Sejong led the creation of Hangul, the Korean script, at the palace. In 1592, during the Imjin War, it was completely burned down, and for around 270 years afterward it went mostly unused and undeveloped. Queen Sinjeong ordered its reconstruction in 1865, and the work was finally completed in 1888.
In 1887, Korea's first electric light was switched on in the palace. After Japan colonized Korea in 1910, the palace, which stood for the authority of the Korean monarchy, was systematically demolished and altered. Of its around 500 structures, only 40 pre-colonial buildings remained by the 1945 liberation. Work to bring the palace back toward its condition before colonial rule began in the 1980s, and dozens of buildings have been recreated. Two museums are inside its grounds: the National Palace Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum of Korea.
