Seoul, Dongaemun Gate
Heunginjimun or Dongdaemun, is one of The Eight Gates of Seoul in the Fortress Wall of Seoul. The Korean name "Dongdaemun" means "Great East Gate," and it was so named because it was the major eastern gate in the wall that surrounded Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty.
The structure was first built by King Taejo during his fifth year of reign (1398). It was renovated in 1453, and the current structure is the one rebuilt in 1869.
