Jongmyo Shrine: Memorial Fit for Royalty




Kings and Queens of the Joseon Dynastry are honored in Jongmyo Shrine where their memorial tablets are kept and memorial services offered.  It is a quiet tranquil place and you can only visit thru a guided tour except Saturdays when visitors can tour on their own.

Jongmyo Shrine is a Unesco World Cultural Heritage site and is the world's largest remaning wooden structure built in the 14th century.
