This is the Changgyeonggung Palace, it's location is about a 7 minute walk from our hostel! It looked very similar to the other palace we visited.....they kind of all start to look alike:)
The palace was originally built as "Suganggung" by King Sejong for his father, Taejong, but in 1483 renovated and enlarged by King Seongjong at which time at which time it received its current name.
During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese built a zoo, botanical garden, and museum on the site. In 1983 the zoo and botanical garden were removed. Like the other Five Grand Palaces, Changgyeonggung was heavily destroyed by the Japanese.
Este es el palacio Changgyeonggung, por suerte bastante cerca del hostel asique la caminata fue leve. Espero que le gusten.
