✨ AI-generatedWelcome to the Gwanbuk-ri Archaeological Site! You're standing where royalty once ruled. This is believed to be a palace from Baekje, one of Korea's Three Kingdoms, during the time when Buyeo served as Baekje's final capital—a city called Sabi. What makes this place special? When archaeologists began digging here in 1982, they uncovered remarkable clues: a beautiful pond with stone edges, an earthenware vessel inscribed with "buksa," and traces of ancient roads and drainage systems. These discoveries matter tremendously because we actually know very little about where the royal palaces of Baekje and Silla once stood. This site is one of the few places where we can say with confidence: here is where a Baekje king walked. Imagine the bustling palace complex that thrived here over 1,500 years ago. Today, these archaeological treasures help us understand Baekje's sophisticated civilization and its important place in Korean history.

Description
Located in 725 Gwanbuk-ri, Buyeo-eup, Buyeo-gun, this site is known as a royal palace site. In September 1983, 33 lots (covering 2,102 square meters) out of a total of 184 lots (covering 95,048 square meters) to the south of the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage were designated as Chungcheongnam-do Monument No. 43 Palace Site of Baekje. Starting 1982, Chungnam National University Museum excavated the site five times. In 1983, a rectangular pond with stone embankments was discovered; in 1988, an earthenware vessel with the inscription “buksa” on the mouth was found. In 1992, traces of Baekje roads and gutters were identified in a spot about 50m south of where the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage stands today. Among the royal palaces of the Three Kingdoms Period, only the location of Anhakgung Palace of Goguryeo has been found; the exact locations are unknown for the palaces from Baekje or Silla. The discovery of part of a site from Baekje in Sabi (Buyeo), the last capital of Baekje, carries great academic value.
