Originally constructed in 1394 AD, by Jung Dojun a Korean architect. Located near northern Seoul, the palace had endured various reconstructions and eventually ended up as a massive 330 building complex. Standing at 410,000 square meters of land, it was a symbol of magistery for the Korean people and the home of the Royal family.

In 1911, the Japanese destroyed all but 10 buildings, leaving no photographic record. Currently the area is used as a National Museum, with many Koreans still hoping to resurrect part of the original palace. Archeological work only brings out the 330 foundations for the building, but the exact design, color, height, etc will never truly be determined.
