Korea / Central Region / Kongju

The capital of the ancient Paekche Kingdom from A.D.475 to 539, when it was moved south to Puyo. The kingdom fell when the Shilla Kingdom unified the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century.

Many remains of Paekche's former glory are well preserved in these two old capitals.
