Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most well-preserved royal palaces from the Joseon Dynasty founded in 1392 and lasted until 1910. This is where kings and their ministers discussed state affairs to effectively reign over the people, and where the royal family resided. Changdeokgung palace was built in 1405 by King Taejong, the third ruler of Joseon.
The whole Changdeokgung compound covers an area of about 462,000 square meters (110 acres) and the Rear garden also known as the Secret Garden accounts for two thirds of the total grounds.
It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage in 1997 and is regarded as a masterpiece of Korean Palace architecture where the buildings are in perfect harmony with the natural setting.
