Six thousand years ago, long before it became the modern metropolis it is today, Seoul was home to Neolithic men, living in pit dwellings along the Han River. For 500 years, until 5th century AD, it served as the capital of Baekje during its Wirye-seong era, then, as the capital of Joseon, Korea's last kingdom, for another 500 years until its demise in 1910. The layers of history that the city has accumulated over the years make Seoul a fascinating and revealing destination for visitors hoping to discover Korea, through all its glory and ruin. A Field Guide to History: Seoul takes readers on an up-close tour of the city's myriad historical treasures, from ancient clay fortresses and Buddhist rock carvings to the royal palaces and shrines of Joseon, which have survived through centuries of war and turmoil on the peninsula. Full of intriguing and informative facts, the book is also guided by the writers' exquisite eye for aesthetic detail, for a deeper appreciation of the city's rich cultural heritage. |
