Tumulus · Namwon, Jeonbuk

A burial complex of a Gaya power located on the Unbong Plateau in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do, where mounds are distributed in the mountainous area east of the Baekdudaegan mountain range. Excavations confirmed Gaya-style relics along with traces of exchange with Baekje and Silla, revealing the independence and external relations of the Gaya power in this region. It is a site that shows that Gaya's territory extended even into the mountainous eastern part of the Honam region. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the Gaya Tumuli.
