The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty UNESCO WHS is located in eighteen locations in Seoul Special City as well as the Gangwon and Gyeonggi provinces of South Korea. It is composed of forty tombs of members of the royal family of the House of Yi, which ruled Korea between 1392 and 1910. These tombs were built over a timespan of more than five centuries, from 1408 to 1966. They represent the ultimate forms of royal tomb architecture on the Korean Peninsula, an architectural history which goes back some 5,000 years. Their layouts are shaped by the principles of pungsu (classical Korean geomancy) and create a setting for the tradition of ancestral worship and its rites.
