Hwasun Dolmen Sites

Tumulus · Hwasun, Jeonnam

A Bronze Age dolmen site spread along the foot of a mountain in Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do, where hundreds of dolmens form clusters. In particular, a quarry where capstones were detached remains alongside them, making it a rare place where one can examine how dolmens were made. Together with the Ganghwa and Gochang dolmens, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It vividly conveys the manufacturing process of megalithic culture and burial customs.
