Changdeokgung Palace, South Korea

CHANGDEOKGUNG PALACE (Seoul, South Korea)

This 15th-century complex comprises official and residential buildings set in a large park in Seoul, South Korea. Noted for the buildings' blending in with the natural topography of the site instead of imposing themselves upon it, only about 30% of the pre-Japanese structures have survived the damages of the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910–1945).
