Gyeongsangnam-do is a region called the Patriotic and Loyalty Region, and has developed Korea through bloodshed in war. From the era of the Three Kingdoms, Gyeongsangnam-do has produced good kings to make Korea into one nation, and even now Gyeongsangnam-do has elected good presidents. The U.S. military paid a lot of blood to Korea to create a liberal democracy, so it is an area to visit.
Jinjuseong Fortress
Jinjuseong Fortress (area 1,760m, stone castle) is a sacred ground that integrates the history and culture of Jinju. Originally a mud castle, it was rebuilt with stones against frequent invasion of sea marauders in the 5th year of King Woo of Goryeo Dynasty (1379). During the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, General Gim, Si-min had a victory at this castle, which was one of three great victories in the war. In the next year (1593), in the second Jinjuseong Battle, about 70,000 militia corps and government troops resisted to the last meeting, a glorious death for their country.
This castle was used as the provincial office of Gyeongsangnam-do from 1895 to 1925. In 1969, the first Jinjuseong Restoration Project was started. Chokseongmun was completed in 1972, and fortress repair was finished in 1975. The second Restoration Project was started in 1979. Removal of 751 private houses was completed in 1984. In 1992, as the third project, the outer wall of the castle was improved.
Chokseongnu (pavilion, one of the top 3 picturesque pavilions in Korea) presents the wonder of perfect natural harmony among Namgang River, Uiam, and Jinjuseong Fortress. The night view of the 9 km-long Namgang area conjures up a charming and romantic mood. Jinjuseong Fortress was selected as one of the 100 Tourist Attractions in Korea by Korea Tourism Organization for the eighth consecutive year. Further, Chokseongnu was recommended as one of the 50 must-visit world famous tourism attractions in Korea by CNN GO.
There are many historical relics at this site such as Jinju National Museum, Jinjuseong Imjindaecheop Gyesasunuidan Altar, Changnyeolsa Temple, and Hoguksa Temple.
