Independence Gate () or Dongnimmun is a memorial gate in Seoul, South Korea. Its construction was planned by Soh Jaipil in the late 19th century, as a symbol of Korea's commitment to independence. It was designated as a Historic Site of South Korea in 1963, and relocated northwest from the original location in 1979 for preservation. Read more on Wikipedia
