Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty

The tombs of Joseon kings and queens scattered across the Seoul metropolitan area, with representative examples including Donggureung and Seonjeongneung. They are characterized by sites chosen and precincts laid out according to geomancy (feng shui) and Confucian rites. The burial mounds, jeongjakgak (T-shaped memorial halls), and stone figures are well preserved. The entire body of Joseon royal tombs is inscribed together on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and they are also enjoyed as forest trails within the city.
