UNESCO World Heritage, Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty
Seolleung Royal Tomb
Seolleung entombs the royal couple of King Seongjong(1457-1494, r. 1469-1494), the 9th monarch of the Joseon Dynasty, and Queen Jeonghyeon(1462-1530), his consort. It is a tomb with double burial mounds, each separately placed on the neighboring hills. The one on the western hill is for King Seongjong, while the other on the eastern hill is for Queen Jeonghyeon. Twelve-faced retaining stones surround the burial mound for King Seongjong, with a corresponding Oriental zodiacal animal on each face. In contrast, there is no retaining stone around the burial mound of Queen Jeonghyeon. However, both mounds have a twelve-angled stone railing around them.

선릉
선릉은 조선 제9대 임금 성종(1457-1494, 재위 1469-1494)과 계비 정현왕후 윤씨(1462-1530)를 모신 동원이강릉이다. 서쪽 언덕에 성종의 능침이, 동쪽 언덕에 정현왕후의 능침이 조성되어 있다. 성종의 봉분에는 12면으로 된 병풍석을 두르고 십이지신상을 새겼고 봉분 주위에는 12칸의 난간석을 둘렀다. 세조가 능에 병풍석을 세우지 말라고 유언을 남겼으나 성종의 봉분에는 병풍석이 설치되어 있다. 정현왕후의 봉분에는 병풍석 없이 난간석만 둘러져 있다.
