Achasanseong Fortress is an earthen mountain fortress dating from the Korean
Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea,[1] at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level. It has a perimeter of roughly 1 kilometer and an area
of about 3375 m2.
The first mention of this fortress in historical records comes from the Hanseong from the north.
In 475, Goguryeo overran this and the other defenses of Baekje, and
Ondal
later died here while trying to reclaim the fortress.
Achasanseong Fortress was designated as a historic landmark in 1973, and has since become a common local tourist destination.
