Gwangju Police Memorial Tower

The Police Memorial Tower stands in Sajik Park in Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City and is about 14 m tall. It comes into view after you climb the long staircase at the entrance to Gwangju Park. The tower enshrines the memorial tablets of 3,196 police officers from Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City who gave their lives for the country, including in the Yeosu-Suncheon Incident and the Korean War. The tower was originally built in 1956 in the garden of the Sangmugwan in front of the former Jeonnam Provincial Office, but over time it became at risk of collapse, so it was moved and rebuilt at its current site (177 Sagu-dong) on October 23, 1981, where it remains today.
