Imnanui Bottle Hancheonjeon Hall Seung Album Site

This is the victory site of the Battle of Hancheon, where one of the first Korean victories of the 1592 Japanese invasions was won. After a large Japanese force invaded on 13 April 1592 and captured Dongnae Fortress and Ulsan Fortress near Busan and Gyeongju Fortress, and then Yeongcheon Fortress as well, local volunteers rose up here on 27 April as a righteous army to save the suffering people and the nation. In the battle fought around this Hancheon area on 6 May, they won their first victory, laying the foundation for the later recapture of Yeongcheon Fortress. It was designated a Gyeongsangbuk-do Monument to preserve this historic site, honour the spirits of the righteous army soldiers who gave their lives in the Battle of Hancheon, and inspire patriotism and a spirit of national defence.
