Jeju Mokgwana Government Office
The Jeju-mok Government Office (Jeju Provincial Office in the ) was located around Gwandeokjeong. People presume that there had already been some main office facilities in this region since the Tamna Kingdom Era. After the office facilities were burned down in 1434 (the sixteenth year of King Sejong), they started construction and completed a basic structure the following year: they did extensions and reconstructions throughout the Joseon dynasty. However, the Jeju-mok Government Office building was completely destroyed during the Japanese colonial rule, and it was impossible to find any traces of them except Gwandeokjeong. The Jeju City Government conducted four excavations from 1991 to 1998, aimed at restoring the Jeju-mok Government Office, which served as the hub for politics, administration, and culture of Jeju from the Tamna Kingdom Era to the Joseon dynasty. As a result, along with many cultural relics ranging from the Tamna Kingdom Era to the Joseon dynasty, building sites of the main buildings, including Honghwagak, Yeonhuigak, Wooryeondang and Gyullimdang, and the ruins were confirmed and relics were unearthed. On March 30, 1993, the Jeju-mok Government Office Sites were designated as Historical Site No. 380. Moreover, based on the cornerstones and foundation that were confirmed during the excavation process, as well as research of the literature - including Tamnasunryeokdo. The Comprehensive Bibliography of Tamnabangyeong, and advice from members of the Central Cultural Properties Committee, local historians, and experts - the basic design for the restoration of the Office Sites was complete. In particular, this meaningful restoration work, which establishes the identity and center of Jeju history, involves the spirit of 300.000 Jeju people who donated the 50.000 tiles for this work. The joint restoration work between the public and the government for this great Jeju-mok Government Office started in September, 1999 at the end of the 20th century, adn was completed in December, 2002, in the New Millenium.
