Old Walls of Hamna Village, Iksan

Believed to date from when the village was first settled, the old walls of Hamna Village are notable for being high even though the houses they enclose are not especially large. Earth-and-stone walls, made by ramming earth with stones embedded in it, predominate, but a variety of other wall types are also mixed in, including plain earthen walls, stone walls, and walls built with fired brick; part of the wall was constructed by setting formwork on both sides and filling it with a mixture of yellow clay and straw. It is a piece of heritage that fully embodies the aesthetic sensibility of the Korean people, built up and added to over generations by the villagers' own efforts.
