Introduction to Palgeosanseong Fortress
Daegu Palgeosanseong Fortress is built on the summit of Hamjisan Mountain (287.7m), which overlooks the Geumho River and downtown Daegu. It is a Temoe-style fortress built around the top of the mountain.
Hamjisan Mountain was also called Hamjisan Mountain or Bangtisan Mountain, which is a dialect of Hamji, because the shape of the mountain resembles an overturned Hamji Mountain Fortress, so Palgeosanseong Fortress was also called Hamjisanseong Fortress or Bangtisanseong Fortress.
Through various historical records, it can be confirmed that the name of the area where Palgeosanseong Fortress was located changed to Palli-hyeon (Three Kingdoms), Palgeo-hyeon (Goryeo), Seongju-mok's Palgeo-hyeon (Joseon), and Palgeo (aka Chilgok). The old name of Palgeosanseong Fortress, Dokmo Fortress, is also recorded.
Currently, it is also called Nogok Dongsanseong Fortress after the name of the administrative district.
As a result of the excavation, it was confirmed that the front gate structure and curved castle, which were the main styles of fortresses during the Silla Dynasty, were universal in the construction style of the Silla Dynasty, and the unique construction of the fortress was unique through the gently sloping wall, curved castle, and the joint construction method of the castle wall. It has excellent value in that it has style.
Part of the fortress was damaged due to the construction of a cemetery, heliport, and air raid shelter within the fortress.
In 2015, a detailed ground survey was conducted to investigate the current status of Palgeosanseong Fortress and to establish directions for preservation, management, maintenance, and utilization of the ruins along with the ancient tombs in Guam-dong, Daegu, adjacent to Hamjisan Mountain.
The hiking trail has been renovated and the Unamji Manri-gil starting from Unamji Waterside Park has been opened, so it will be an unforgettable experience to enjoy the atmosphere of the mountain resembling Hamjibak and the beautiful waterside park of Unamji Park and picture the lives of the ancient people through the Daegu historical and cultural belt. .

Introduction to stone stupas
Outside the Kyungpook National University Museum, there are two stone stupas, one decorated with the Yeonhwa cloud dragon decoration in Sangyeok-dong, Daegu, and the other with the Lion Juak decoration in Sangyeok-dong, Daegu.
Both stone sculptures were moved from a Japanese residence in Daegu to their current location at the Kyungpook National University Open Air Museum in 1958, so the site where the pagoda was originally built and the owner of the pagoda are unknown.
[Daegu Sangyeok-dong Lotus Cloud Dragon Decorated Pagoda] This is a masterpiece that shows off the characteristics of the octagonal stupa of the Goryeo Dynasty. Although the stylobate is bulky compared to the pagoda body and roof, it gives a stable and solemn feeling.
There are lower, middle, and upper stones on the foundation stones, and the characteristics of the Goryeo Dynasty are best displayed in the lower and middle stones.
The main stone is octagonal and has a dragon gate carved on its surface, which is close to a circle, giving a glimpse into the artistic sense of the craftsmen at the time.
The lower stone is carved in a square shape (24 plates of 6 each) on each side.
The octagonal body of the pagoda has a universe on each side, and the four sides are carved with standing statues of the Four Heavenly Kings.
The roof stone is also octagonal, has a clear udon at the top, and has a steep slope.
The upper wheel is topped with a wheel-shaped stone carved with a lotus flower.
The overall height is 274cm and the width of the stone is 157cm.
[Daegu Sangyeok-dong Lion Juak Decorated Pagoda] Each part is formed based on an octagonal plane, and the pagoda body is placed on a three-tiered stylobate and a roof stone is placed on top.
The stylobate, resting on a square base stone, is divided into lower, middle, and upper support stones. A lion is carved on the side of the lower support stone, and a three-dimensional cloud is carved on the top.
The low middle support stone has the corners cut and carved with figures of people playing musical instruments on each side.
The upper support stone has a centered band and simple yet large lotus flowers are carved on the lower and upper surfaces.
The pagoda body containing the relics is low, with pillar shapes carved on the corners, a door with a lock on the front and back, and statues of the Four Heavenly Kings and Bodhisattva on the remaining sides.
The wide roof stones are beautifully carved with incense burners and statues of angels on the underside, and the eaves have carvings closely imitating double rafters following the roof style of wooden buildings.
The upper surface is surrounded by lotus flowers, and on the four sides above it are carvings of Garingbinga, a bird said to live in a Buddhist paradise.
Although some of the roof stones of this pagoda are broken and do not remain intact, it is a beautiful piece of work with good proportions between the top and bottom.
The carvings of each part are magnificent and outstanding, clearly showing the characteristics of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Introduction to Neungseongse
Neungseongsega is a traditional house rebuilt during the Japanese colonial period and is the head home of the Neungseong-gu family, who have lived there for generations.
Behind is the foot of Hamjisan Mangilbong Mountain, and in front is Seobyeon Neighborhood Park.
The descendant of the Neungseong-gu clan, located in the Mutae (Seobyeon-dong) area, was Gyeam Gu Hoesin (1564-1634), who served as a volunteer soldier during the Japanese invasions of Korea and settled in Seobyeon-dong.
Gu Hoesin is also the 8th generation descendant of Munjeolgong Jwa Seung-jeong Gu Hong, one of the 72 Dumun-dong people who entered Dumundong after the fall of Goryeo and maintained fidelity.
In 1599, two years after settling in Seobyeon-dong, Gu Hoesin took the military service examination and passed it. He then became the head of the military training center for General Eomo. However, after seeing that the government was in disarray due to factional fighting, he abandoned his official position and returned to Seobyeon-dong and lived in seclusion.
Since it was a house where the descendants of Guhoesin had lived for generations for a very long time, it was often repaired or rebuilt when necessary.
In addition to the main body and Changgang Seosil, which have been used to promote Confucian scholars in later generations, there are three buildings.
It is also the birthplace of Sobong Guchanhoe (1890-1910), an anti-Japanese independence activist.
Nearby, there are relics of the Neungseong-gu family, including Songgyedang and Mulsojae.
Mutae is still the residence of the Neungseong-gu clan, and the area around Seobyeon-dong is called Seonbi Village.
