Brief Description
"The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty form a collection of 40
tombs scattered over 18 locations. Built over five centuries, from 1408
to 1966, the tombs honoured the memory of ancestors, showed respect for
their achievements, asserted royal authority, protected ancestral
spirits from evil and provided protection from vandalism. Spots of
outstanding natural beauty were chosen for the tombs which typically
have their back protected by a hill as they face south toward water and,
ideally, layers of mountain ridges in the distance. Alongside the
burial area, the royal tombs feature a ceremonial area and an entrance.
In addition to the burial mounds, associated buildings that are an
integral part of the tombs include a T-shaped wooden shrine, a shed for
stele, a royal kitchen and a guards’ house, a red-spiked gate and the
tomb keeper’s house. The grounds are adorned on the outside with a range
of stone objects including figures of people and animals. The Joseon
Tombs completes the 5,000 year history of royal tombs architecture in
the Korean peninsula."
