Tapgol ("Pagoda") Park
A small park frequented by the elderly and the footsore traveler, just to the east of Jongmyo Shrine. Contains a 500-year-old namesake pagoda under protective glass and a nice large gazebo to get out of the sun. This is where the Korean constitution was first read aloud by the public during the 20th century. Acts as a navigation landmark when moving between Myeong-dong, Jong-no, and Insa-dong neighborhoods.
Why it is worth a visit
Small park where the 1919 independence declaration was read, with a historic pagoda.
