Standing at the heart of Tapgol Park, this octagonal pavilion marks the spot where Korea's Declaration of Independence was read aloud during the March 1st Movement in 1919. Today it offers visitors a peaceful retreat in downtown Seoul while honoring a pivotal moment in the nation's fight for independence.
탑골공원 중심에 자리한 팔각정은 1919년 3·1 운동 당시 독립선언서가 낭독된 역사적 장소로, 서울 도심 속에서 근대사의 숨결을 느낄 수 있는 곳입니다. 종로 한복판에서 만나는 고요한 쉼터이자 한국 독립운동의 상징적 공간으로 많은 이들이 찾습니다.
