Gwanghwamun Gate
Gwanghwamun is the main southern gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, with three arched passages beneath a wooden pavilion. Its position has repeatedly shifted and been rebuilt through war and colonial rule; the present reconstruction returned the gate to its historic site and timber form in 2010.
Gwanghwamun Square
Gwanghwamun Square stretches south from the palace gate, combining open civic space with gardens, fountains, and traces of the old Six Ministries Street. Its recent redesign brought buried history back into view while making room for daily rest and large public gatherings.
Gwangjang Market
Gwangjang Market’s covered aisles bring together fabric merchants, food stalls, and shoppers in a dense indoor street. The market’s present-day variety rests on a longer story of merchants creating a permanent marketplace and rebuilding it as Seoul changed around them.
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung’s central halls and broad axis express its role as the Joseon dynasty’s primary palace. Founded in 1395, the complex was destroyed during the 1592 invasion and rebuilt in the nineteenth century; its present form also reflects later damage and restoration.

Hackesche Höfe
Eight connected courtyards make Hackesche Höfe a small city within a city block. Opened in 1906, the complex deliberately mixed cultural, commercial, and residential uses, a design that brought work, housing, and public life into close contact behind the street façade.
Hackescher Markt
Hackescher Markt developed at the edge of an expanding Berlin, then became a meeting point for neighborhoods shaped by migration and commerce. Its history links the former city wall, a planned market, and a diverse district whose streets continue to connect daily movement and public life.
Hac Sa Beach

Hadrian’s Gate
Three marble arches mark the old entrance to Kaleiçi, but the gate also preserves traces of later defenses. Built in honor of Emperor Hadrian’s visit, the monument was eventually hidden by city walls before reappearing when those walls were removed.
Hagia Irene
Hagia Irene stands within the outer grounds of Topkapı Palace, a quieter Byzantine church whose plain exterior conceals a long history of changing use. Its survival helps explain how the city’s sacred buildings outlasted the institutions that first built them.
Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia’s immense dome gathers the eye upward, while mosaics, calligraphy, and layered architectural changes reveal centuries of religious and political life. The building has served as a church and mosque, then museum, and again as a mosque.
Haji Lane
Haji Lane’s early two-storey shophouses are narrow and simply ornamented, a different scale from the grand mosque and palace nearby. The street’s name recalls its historic connection to Muslim pilgrims, within Kampong Glam’s wider trading and residential life.

Its changing use—from transport, to exhibition, to a museum after reunification—makes the building a physical record of the city’s political and cultural tr
Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace began as Cardinal Wolsey’s ambitious residence before Henry VIII took it over and made it a centre of Tudor court life. Tudor brickwork and later Baroque additions preserve two royal visions side by side, reflecting the palace’s long sequence of changing occupants.

Harmonica Yokocho
