Summary[edit]
DescriptionSouthern Gate 숭례문 崇禮門 (5678277441).jpg |
This is Seoul's main southern gate. Its official name is Sungryemun (Sungnyemun), which I am using for my Korean and Chinese captions, but everyone refers to it as Namdaemun (남대문, 南大門), or Southern Gate, for all practical purposes. It is such a prominent symbol of Korean architecture that it was designated as National Treasure No. 1. Although it had survived many threats, including the destruction of Seoul during the Korean War, it could not survive the angst of an arsonist, and burned to the ground in February 2008. Restoration work has been ongoing ever since based on a detailed architectural survey done a few years prior to the arson. A miniature version of this gate was introduced in 2012 by Lego as part of its Architecture line. As this photo dates from 1994, titles are done in the internationally accepted McCune-Reischauer Romanization that South Korea used at this time, with Revised Romanization, South Korea's current Romanization system, in parentheses for cross-reference. |
