The Uijeongbu Site: The Uijeongbu was the highest administrative institution in the Joseon Dynasty that commanded all officials and oversaw all state affairs. Positioned to match this status, it was located at the first position to the left of Gwanghwamun. With its role as the supreme governing body of the Joseon Dynasty for 500 years, its historical significance is extremely high. Through scholarly surveys, the primary buildings of the Uijeongbu including three main structures (Jeongbondang, Hyeopseondang, and Seok-hwoedang) and modern building sites have been confirmed, validating the original spatial significance. The site possesses exceptional historical and scholarly value.
