Viewing the Joseon Royal Tombs from a New Perspective
Brief Description
The Joseon Royal Tombs are the tombs for kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty, and emperors and empresses of the Korean Empire. Of the 44 tombs, there are 40 royal tombs excluding 4 tombs: Jereung (Queen Sineui, King Taejo's consort,) and Hureung (Jeongjong, the 2nd King of the Joseon Dynasty, and Queen Jeongan, his consort) in North Korea, and burial sites of the dethroned kings, Yeonsangun and Gwanghaegun. The Joseon Royal Tombs are the most completely-shaped remains of royal tombs existing in Korea, and they are the only examples that a single dynasty's royal tombs have been preserved intact, so they were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2009.
'2024 Korea Heritage Joseon Royal Tombs Festival' is a cultural event to promote the Joseon Royal Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage, at home and abroad, and is a cultural festival where you can feel and experience the Joseon Royal Tombs from a new perspective. We hope you can enjoy the various performances, exhibitions, and experience programs in ‘2024 Korea Heritage Joseon Royal Tombs Festival.’
