Gyeongbokgung was completed in 1395 as the central palace of the Joseon dynasty and has been rebuilt and restored multiple times following wars and occupation.
Conservation
The palace operates preservation rules and limits access to delicate interiors; visitors should stay on marked paths, avoid touching artifacts, and follow photography restrictions to protect historic woodwork and paints.
