Old Walls of Jukjeong Village, Yeongam

The old walls of Jukjeong Village combine dry stone walls, built using only stone with no earth fill and no aligned rows, with tosokdam, walls of rammed earth studded with stones. Jukjeong Village has existed since the Samhan period, and takes pride in its history as a hub of exchange with China and Japan via a sea route that has operated since ancient times. The walls of the houses, the river embankment and the old stone walls blend harmoniously to create a fine traditional village landscape. Made and added to by villagers themselves across the generations, it is a piece of cultural heritage that fully embodies the aesthetic sense of the Korean people.
