Tomb of King Muryeong and Songsan-ri Tumuli, Gongju

A cluster of royal Baekje tombs set on the Songsan-ri hill in Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do, among which the Tomb of King Muryeong is a rare royal tomb whose occupant has been clearly identified. From the brick-built tomb came a memorial stone along with splendid artifacts such as gold ornaments, attesting to the high level of Baekje culture. Clear traces of exchange with China's Southern Dynasties reveal its international character at the time. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Baekje Historic Areas.
