Located within Jangchungdan Park, this memorial tower was built to honor the spirit of the March 1st Independence Movement of 1919. It stands as a solemn tribute to those who fought for Korea's independence, offering visitors a meaningful stop to reflect on the nation's modern history while strolling through the park.
장충단공원 안에 자리한 이 기념탑은 1919년 일어난 3.1독립운동의 정신을 기리기 위해 세워졌습니다. 당시 만세운동에 참여했던 선열들의 숭고한 희생을 되새길 수 있는 역사적인 장소로, 조용히 산책하며 한국 근현대사를 돌아보기에 좋습니다.
