Donhwamun Gate

This gate is the largest of all the palace gates of five palaces that were built Seoul. It is so beautiful with its array of colors and designs. Only the king was allowed to use all of these colors on his buildings. It was strictly set out what colors that persons of each rank were allowed to use, all the way down to the commoners who did not use colors at all on their homes and buildings. The gate was built in 1412, but was destroyed by a Japanese invasion in 1592. It was restored in 1608. You've got to see the pictures to believe it!
