Facility Name : Paldalmun Gate
Designated No.: Treasure #402
Designated Year : Sept. 3, 1964

Paldalmun Gate is the southern gate of Hwaseong Fortress, designated Treasure No. 402. A crescent shaped ‘ongseong’ (defensive secondary wall to prevent the main gate from being broken down with logs) is built on the outside of the door.
On the right wall of the gate is a nameplate which contains the names of the people involved in the construction of the gate.
The Paldalmun Gate is unique in that it is separated from the rest of the gates, and located in the middle of the busy city.
The reason for this is because commerce took roots around the gates before its reconstruction, making it impossible to build in that area.
