Onpyeong Hwanhaejangseong Fortress
This stone fortress was built along the 120 kilometer-long seashore. When Mongols invaded the country in 1270, a unit of troops named Sambyeolcho resisted them at Yongjangseong Fortress in Jindo, the southern tip of the mainland. However, they were defeated. Later, the central government sent Yeongam magistrate Kim Su and General Go Yeo-rim to build a defensive fortress on Tamna (present-day Jejudo Island). This was the origin of this fortress. The fortress was repaired repeatedly in order to fend off Japanese pirates. Parts of the fortress in Onpyeong, Sinsan, Gonheul, Byeoldo, Samyang, Bukchon, Dongbok, Haengwon, Handong, and Aewol have been preserved in good condition.
