Donhwamun and Vicinity
The main entrance to Changdeokgung Palace, Donhwamun Gate was used on ceremonial occasions, such as when the king went on procession. Court officials used Geumhomun Gate on the western side. Because Jongmyo Shrine had already been built directly in front of the palace, Donhwamun was situated in the southwesternmost part of Changdeokgung. The central part of the palace, the Injeongjeon Hall area, lies to the east and is reached by crossing Geumcheongyo Bridge after entering through the main gate. Restored in 1609, Donhwamun is a two-story wooden gate. The first level provides passage, and the upper level was used for surveillance. In front of the gate is a wide stone platform. The government office district originally extended from here all the way to Jongno street.
