Did You Know?
Modern Marvel
The current Woljeong Bridge is a magnificent reconstruction, completed in 2018, based on historical records and archaeological findings, as the original Silla-era bridge was lost to time.
Ancient Roots
The original Woljeong Bridge was first built during the Unified Silla Dynasty (676-935 AD), serving as a vital link between the royal palace (Wolseong) and the southern part of Gyeongju.
Documented History
The existence of Woljeong Bridge is recorded in the 'Samguk Sagi' (History of the Three Kingdoms), a historical text compiled in the 12th century, which provided crucial clues for its modern reconstruction.
Decade-Long Project
The meticulous reconstruction of Woljeong Bridge took approximately 10 years, from 2008 to 2018, involving extensive research, traditional craftsmanship, and significant investment.
