Gyeongbokgung Palace is a historic palace located in Seoul, South Korea. It was originally built in 1395 during the Joseon Dynasty, and served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty for over two centuries. The palace was destroyed and burned down during the Japanese invasions of 1592-1598, but was later reconstructed in the late 19th century.
