General presentation
Gongju et Buyeo
Former capitals of Baekje, between fortresses, royal tombs, museums and riverscapes of the Geum.
To understand what Gongju and Buyeo are, you must look at Fortress Gongsanseong, Tomb of King Muryeong and Fortress Busosanseong. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Forteresse Gongsanseong
Gongsanseong follows a hill overlooking the Geum River at Gongju, with rebuilt walls, doors and pavilions. The round road alternates underwood and open views, giving a clear reading of the defensive role of the former capital of Baekje.
Place indismissible
Tombe du roi Muryeong
The tomb of King Muryeong has delivered an exceptional set of objects that document the exchanges of the kingdom of Baekje. The original room remains protected, but the museum and the reproductions explain precisely its architecture and the context of the neighboring tumulus.
Culture and heritage
Forteresse Busosanseong
Busosanseong occupies a wooded hill on the Geum in Buyeo. The trails connect pavilions, remains and viewpoints linked to the last capital of Baekje, with a more landscaped than monumental walk.
