Historic Sites of South Korea
Official Historic Sites of South Korea are designated by the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea, part of the South Korean government. These are "places and facilities of great historic and academic values that are specially commemorable" and include, for example, "prehistoric sites, fortresses, ancient tombs, kiln sites, dolmens, temple sites and shell mounds".[1]
Note: Structures built from the late 19th century to the 1940s are not eligible for listing as "Historic Sites", but rather may be officially listed as Cultural Heritage of early modern Times "if they are highly valuable and on the verge of destruction or deterioration".[2]
The first 112 Historic Sites were designated in 1963, and as of 2015 there had been 485 cultural heritage items listed in historic sites numbered up to 526.[3]
