Yongjangseong Fortress served as the temporary capital of the Sambyeolcho resistance forces during their fight against the Mongol invasions in the Goryeo dynasty. Though only remnants of the fortress walls and palace site remain today, the peaceful surroundings offer a quiet space to reflect on this turbulent chapter of Korean history. It's a meaningful stop for travelers seeking deeper historical insight into Jindo Island.
진도 용장성은 고려시대 삼별초가 몽골에 항쟁하며 임시 수도로 삼았던 유서 깊은 산성입니다. 지금은 성벽 일부와 궁궐터만 남아 있지만, 자연 속에서 역사의 흔적을 조용히 느껴볼 수 있는 곳입니다. 굴곡진 역사를 품은 이곳은 진도 여행에서 색다른 감동을 선사합니다.
