Old Walls of Otgol Village, Daegu

The old walls of Otgol Village are mostly earth-and-stone walls made by ramming earth with stones set into it, and a distinctive feature is that the stone-walled lanes through the village run mostly in straight lines, giving an orderly impression. Blending with the traditional houses to create natural pathways, these stone-walled lanes play a large part in evoking the typical atmosphere of a banchon, a village of scholar-gentry (yangban) lineage, and they produce a quietly beautiful scene that changes colourfully with the four seasons. 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 themselves.
