Yeoncheon Dangposeong Fortress

This is a Goguryeo fortress built by using the cliff terrain formed between the Imjin River and the Danggae tributary. On the triangular site, the cliff forms a natural defensive wall, and on the east side leading to flat land, stone walls were piled up to block access. Together with Horogoru and Eundaeri Fortress, this is a site where you can examine the characteristics of Goguryeo fortresses located along rivers. On the eastern wall, vertical grooves related to Goguryeo’s fortification techniques remain, and outside the fortress a moat as a defensive facility has been identified. Inside the fortress, Goguryeo pottery and roof tiles as well as Silla-style artifacts were found, showing that it was used over multiple periods. As a military stronghold guarding the passage across the Imjin River, it is believed to have been used even after Silla took control of the area. By examining the remaining walls together with the surrounding terrain, visitors can understand the wisdom of ancient people who used the natural environment for defense.
