BungnaptoSeong
BungnaptoSeong submitted by Aska : Site in South Korea (Vote or comment on this photo)
A sole-shaped earthen rampart near MongchonToseong hillfort and the Han-gang river, South Korea. The western half was washed away by 1925 Han-gan flood and now it seems like a ")" shape. Original circumference: 4000m (only 2250m survives)

Some scholars believe that this fortress was built by the locals before Seoul became the capital of Baekje kingdom, other ones point out the similarity with the fortress town in China and Goguryeo (northern Korean kingdom). Now the rampart surrounds a chaotic town : taller modern tower residences, lower traditional houses, active market and offices.

Designated as No. 11 of National Historic Site
