Injeongjeon Hall



This hall is on the list of Korean National Treasures. Major state affairs and coronations of kings took place here. It was also called the "Throne Hall" as this was where the king sat on his throne. This hall has been restored twice, once after the Japanese invasion of 1592 (they must have destroyed everything in Seoul) and after it burned down in 1804. It's impressive.
