Pasaseong Fortress, built along the ridgeline of the Pasaseong
peak, is rather well-preserved. With a circumference
of approximately 943m, the height of the fortress
wall at the tallest point is 6.25m, and 1.4m at
the lowest point. Two cornerstones for high pillars and
a cornerstone for short-pillar remain at Dongmunji (East Gate Site; facing
Cheonseo-ri) and at Nammunji (Sorth Gate Site; facing Ipo-ri, Geumsa-myeon).
Also at Dongmunji is the Ongsangmunji. Joined to
the Han River, part of the fortress bursts out of
the river. From this point in the fortress, one
can see all of the South Han River. Constructed
during the period of the Three Kingdoms, the Augmented Survey of Geography of Joseon (revised version;Sinjeung dongguk yYeoji seungram) records that during the Japanese
invasion of Korea (1592), at the suggestion of Yu
Seongryong, Uiam and his army of Buddhist monks
repaired a portion of the fortress wall that measured
1,100 paces in circumference. (A round trip of 1
hour on foot.)
