NAJU GEUMSEONGGWAN HALL
Every first day of month and in the middle of the month officials and scholars used to gather to hold a ceremony for Hanyang Castle by putting tablets that symbolized the king in the middle of the Geumsunggwan. Compared to the ceremonies normally held annually on birthdays for the king and queen, in Naju this ceremony was held twice each month, a fact that speaks of the importance of Geumsunggwan as a regional castle. It is quite rare to have magnificent buildings like Geumsunggwan in regional areas. It also has a sense of majesty about it as representation of the resistance against Japan.
