Gyeongbokgung Palace / 경복궁  

 Gyeongbokgung Palace was the largest royal palace built during the Joseon Dynasty. Founded in 1395, three years after the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, the palace consisted of 390 rooms and was located in the center of Hanyang. Jeong Do-jeon, one of the founding ministers of the Joseon Dynasty, was ordered by King Taejo to name the first palace. After much deliberation, he named it Gyeongbokgung, meaning “the palace of great happiness,” with the hope that the new dynasty would enjoy great prosperity. Among the palaces of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung was the largest of Gyeonghuigung, Deoksugung, Changgyeonggung, and Changdeokgung, and played a central role as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty.
