| Jeonju is the provincial capital of Jeollabuk-do, and was the capital of the Late Baekje era in the early 10th century. In the Goryeo Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty, this city was called “Honam Jaeilseong” as administrative functions of the Joella province were concentrated in the city. The city has preserved many Korea's traditional houses. This city is also called the city of flavor in Korea. Every year, the Jeonju International Film Festival is held here. |

Pungnammun
Pungnammun, a symbol of Jeonju, was originally built as the South gate of 4 Jeonju castle gates. The gate, along with Jeonju castle, was created by Jeolla governor Choi Yu-keong in 1389, the first year of Gongyang's rein of the Goryeo Dynasty. Architectural structure, considered relatively in good shape, is typical gate style of the late Joseon Dynasty. |
