Yeosu Cultural Center

Yeosu, inhabited since the Three Kingdoms period, was merely a small village called Goeum-ri during the Unified Silla period and is said to have first been called Yeosu in the 23rd year of King Taejo of Goryeo (940). Yeosu, which began to emerge as a naval base from the late Goryeo and early Joseon periods, was promoted to Jeolla Left Naval Station in the 10th year of King Seongjong (1479) and, until it was abolished in the 32nd year of King Gojong (1895), fulfilled important national defense duties as the main base for defending the southern coast for 417 years. In addition, it experienced the tragedy of ideological conflict with the outbreak of the Yeo-Sun Incident in 1948. As such, Yeosu developed diverse local cultures based on its long history and geographical location. Accordingly, the Yeosu Cultural Center is carrying out projects to learn the region's history and inherit local culture, such as operating a local relics archive and touring historic sites, to pass on and develop the region's unique culture and integrate it with modern culture.
