Namhansanseong was designed as an emergency capital for the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), in a mountainous site 25 km south-east of Seoul. Built and defended by Buddhist monk-soldiers, it could accommodate 4,000 people and fulfilled important administrative and military functions. It is the only fortress that has been used as an emergency palace during a war so it is historically significant. In recognition of its value, Namhansanseong was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2013. But, so far it is more famous for a mountain-climbing and driving destination for local residents and visitors. Besides, many people have no idea it is World Heritage site. The aim of this project is promoting the importance and value of Namhansanseong as a World Heritage and preserving it.
