The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty in Seoul, Korea, are a profound reflection of the 500-year-long history of the Joseon Dynasty. These 40 tombs, scattered across 18 locations, were constructed to honor the memory of ancestors, celebrate their achievements, and uphold royal authority. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, the tombs are remarkable for their harmonious integration with the natural landscape, following the principles of pungsu to create a serene resting place for the departed royals.
