Visit details

A bronze standing statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin on Gwanghwamun Square, built 27 April 1968 by the Patriotic Forebears Statue Committee and the Seoul Shinmun. Height 17 m (statue 6.5 m, base 10.5 m), with a Geobukseon model and two drums. The site was chosen, according to the text, after geomancers argued that the open Sejong-ro–Taepyeong-ro axis needed a guardian Japan would fear. A fountain nearby is linked to his naval defense. The statue stresses historic meaning more than strict likeness.
