Jongum Gate is the southern gate of the northern castle of the Walled City of Pyongyang in the period of Koguryo. It is on Moran Hill in Pyongyang City.
First built in the mid-sixth century, it was repaired and reconstructed several times.
The present gatehouse, which was rebuilt in 1714 and burnt down during the past Fatherland Liberation War, was restored to the original state in 1959.
The embankment piled up with smoothly faced granite has a beautiful stable arched gateway, which is about 3 meters wide, 3.4 meters high and 6.35 meters long.
On the embankment is a gate house, which is three kans (7.36 meters) long and two kans (4.35 meters) wide.
Jongum Gate is a precious cultural relic that demonstrates the excellent architecture of the Korean ancestors and their patriotic spirit of bravely fighting against foreign aggressors.
