Visit details

Seodaemun Independence Park occupies the former Seoul Detention Center, which held independence activists until 15 August 1945 and later political prisoners. After the prison moved to Uiwang in November 1987, seven cell blocks, an execution site, and an underground women’s prison were restored, the March 1st memorial tower was moved from Tapgol Park, and the park opened on 15 August 1992 with Yeongeunmun plinths. Independence Gate, a history hall, Independence Hall, and a martyrs’ memorial are linked. A later rebuild opened Independence Gate to the public.
