Goseong Museum
Officially opened on May 2012, 5, Goseong Museum has a permanent exhibition room and a special exhibition room on the second floor. The permanent exhibition room displays the history and culture of Goseong, as well as artifacts excavated from the Dongae-dong Shell Mound Site, Songhak-dong Tomb Group, and Naesan-ri Tomb Group.
Songhak-dong Tomb Complex, Goseong
It is located in Goseong-gun, the capital of Sogaya, and behind the museum is Songhak-dong Tomb, historic site number 119.
Songhak-dong Tomb, estimated to date from the late 5th to early 6th century, has the largest tomb, Tomb No. 1, atop a small hill, and six other tombs are located around it. Among them, Tomb No. 6, which is 66 meters long from north to south, is very similar in shape to a Japanese keyhole-shaped tomb, and has been the subject of much discussion as to whether Japanese-style tombs existed in Gaya.
Bunsanseong Fortress
Bunsanseong Fortress, which offers a panoramic view of Gimhae city, the Gimhae Plain, and the Nakdong River, is believed to have been built during the Three Kingdoms period.
Royal Tomb of King Suro
We will visit the royal tomb of King Kimsuro, who founded Geumgwan Gaya, based in Gimhae City. King Kimsuro is also the ancestor of the Gimhae Kim clan.
Daeseongdong Tomb Museum
Daeseong-dong Tomb Museum was built on top of the remains of the ancient tomb of the ruling class of Geumgwan Gaya. It displays artifacts excavated from the mass grave of the ruling class of Geumgwan Gaya from the 2nd to 6th centuries, as well as a model of the tomb.
Tomb of Queen Suro
The tomb of King Kim Suro, who is said to have died in 48, is located on the northeast side of Gujibong Peak. In 16 AD, at the age of 189, she boarded a ship from Ayutthaya, India, to the kingdom of Gaya, where she married King Suro as queen.
Gujji Peak
A small hill where the secret story of the birth of King Kimsuro, who founded Geumgwan Gaya, is hidden.
Gimhae National Museum
The Gimhae National Museum has a black brick exterior, which fully expresses the image of the "Iron Kingdom of Kaya." Compared to the ancient states of the Korean peninsula, the Gaya countries have few ruins and historical materials, so the museum uses the latest archaeological research to depict the Gaya period.
