◼︎ Jongmyo Shrine, a symbol of the nation's foundation. Established in the early Joseon Dynasty by the royal edict of King Taejo, the Jongmyo Shrine, whose ancestral shrine was the last to be dedicated to Prince Yeongchin, holds historical significance in that it symbolizes the authority and legitimacy of the Joseon Dynasty and embodies the founding ideology of Neo-Confucianism. Although originally imported from China, the Jongmyo Jerye ritual, which has been consistently preserved for 500 years and developed into a unique Korean cultural style in harmony with nature, has been recognized for its cultural heritage value and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
