Description
Located in Baeksan Mountain, Jeollabuk-do, a fortress was built on the rough mountain to block the enemy's attacks. Baeksanseong Fortress was believed to have been built sometime between 660 and 663. The fortress surrounds the summit of the mountain and consists of 4-layered walls including the outer wall. A fence connecting the hammered stakes around the outer wall was assumed to have been built. Although the fortress has been partially damaged, the building sites, ancient wells, and broken pottery from the Three Kingdoms Period have been excavated with the well-preserved 3 or 4 m tall earthen wall. The Donghak peasants’ army used this fortress as its stronghold during the Donghak Peasant Movement. It is also a very reliable archeological source of data for research on Korean fortresses.
