Overview
Sukjeongmun Gate is one of the Four Great Gates along the Seoul Fortress Wall and serves as the northern gate of Hanyangdoseong, the Seoul City Wall. It was originally named Sukcheongmun Gate but was later renamed Sukjeongmun Gate. Among the existing fortress gates, it is the only one with walls still connected on both the left and right sides. The gate tower was rebuilt in 1976. Access was restricted to the general public for the security of Cheong Wa Dae, but it was reopened in April 2006 along with a 0.5 km section of the western Fortress Wall and a 0.6 km northern access road. It was designated as a Historic Site on January 21, 1963, as part of the Seoul Hanyangdoseong, the Seoul City Wall.
