Puerta Gwanghwamun (광화문)

1.3Km    2022-12-13

Sajik-ro 161, Jongno-gu, Seúl.

La puerta Gwanghwamun es la entrada principal del palacio Gyeongbokgung, levantada en 1395 por Taejo, el primer rey de la dinastía Joseon. Es la puerta sur de las cuatro puertas de la antigua ciudad de Hanyang (Seúl), levantadas sobre los cuatro puntos cardinales.

Su nombre significa “la luz de la civilización iluminará el mundo”, y contiene los altos propósitos que la dinastía Joseon tuvo al ser establecida. Gwanghwamun había sido construida de granito. En el centro se halla una entrada que se asemeja al arco iris, denominado Hongyemun, y arriba está la torre del portal.

Gwanghwamun guarda un recuerdo amargo de la historia de Corea. Durante la ocupación de Corea por los japoneses (1910-1945), el gobierno colonial nipón destruyó la puerta con el objetivo de suprimir la nación coreana, y en su emplazamiento levantó el Edificio de la Gobernación de Corea. Hacia el año 1968, el gobierno coreano construyó de nuevo la puerta Gwanghwamun, pero usando concreto. Sin embargo, en el año 2010 se completaron los trabajos de restauración total en madera, que es la que se ve actualmente.
