Seoul, the Capital of Korea

Seoul is the capital of Korea. The word ’Seoul’ means capital in traditional Korean. Seoul is a city in which the Han River flows through, from east to west, and is surrounded by great mountains, and the city contains both history and tradition, as well as the latest IT technology, making it a kind of a city which is quite rare anywhere on the globe.
Seoul first became the capital of the Korean people in the year 18 BC, when the Baekjae Dynasty established it as the capital of its establishing dynasty. The dynasty then kept Seoul as the capital for 476 years and presented prosperous culture, which served as the basis of today’s Seoul’s traditional culture.
Seoul ended its role as the capital after 476 years when Baekjae moved the capital to present day Gongju area, but it still remained as a prominent area. After the moving of the capital, Baekjae, Goguryeo and Silla fought for control over the area of Seoul near the Han River, which showed exactly how important Seoul was in the Korean peninsula. In 1394, after the Unified Silla Era and the Goryeo Era, Seoul became the capital again, and since then has developed into a cultural and economic center.
