Jeongjisan Archaeological Site in Gongju

The Gongju Jeongjisan Archaeological Site was designated as a Chungcheongnam-do Monument on July 28, 1998, and after excavation by the National Gongju Museum, it was evaluated as an important site presumed to be a state-level ritual facility, and was designated as a Historic Site on November 6, 2006. It is a royal ritual site of Baekje, located adjacent to the Gongju Songsan-ri Tombs (公州宋山里古墳群: Historic Site). After demolishing all existing houses, the ridge was cut down and the facilities were built on a wide, flat plot of land. On the southeast side overlooking Gongsanseong Fortress, about three to five layers of wooden fences were erected, and on the ridge connecting to the Songsan-ri Tombs, a wide and deep moat over 5m wide and 2m deep was dug, leaving only a narrow entrance of about 1m, and several buildings were constructed inside. Also, artifacts related to the Crown Prince, such as a drum-shaped vessel stand with splendid decorations, were collected here.
