In this post, I’d like to introduce a military fortress in Gang Jin area.
Traditionally, the main threats in Korean peninsular were from two sides, south and north.
Northern threat was mainly from China, and Southern threat was from Japan.
Japanese threat through Korean history was very characteristic.
Except the Japanese invasion 1592-1597, main threat from Japan was pirates.
Pirate was a kind of business in Japanese history like England in 15 - 6 century.
So military fortress in Gang Jin was the center of protecting people and property from the Japanese pirates.
This fortress was demolished under the rule of the Imperial Japan.
Now it was rebuilt as below.
Main Gate
The wall
A tree over the wall
