Mokpojin was the camp of the naval forces during the Joseon Dynasty and was called Mokpoyeong and Mokpodae, and was also called Manhoyeong, Manhojin, and Manhocheong because Manho was deployed.
Geographically, Mokpo is located at the mouth of the Yeongsangang River, and is located at a geographical point connected to the sea, and is located on the road used as a transportation route for Segok to Honam and southern Gyeongsang Province.
For that reason, Mokpo has attracted attention as its importance has been highlighted since the early Joseon Dynasty.
In 1439 (the 21st year of King Sejong's reign), Mokpojin was first installed as a ritual site, and it is said that the castle was built in 1502 (8th year of Yeonsan-gun). According to the literature, the original size of Jinseong Fortress was 1,306 cheoksok around the stonework, 7 cheoksok, and 34 cheon, and there was one well and one pond each. After that, Mokpojin played its role as a defense area in the southwest sea of the Korean Peninsula, but it was abolished by King Gojong's Decree No. 141 on July 15, 1895.
At the time of the opening of the port right after the closure, part of the government building remained, and the site where only the Mokpojin monument remained was partially restored to its current state in 2014.
The military base, which disappeared during the Japanese colonial period, has been restored as a historical park for the first time in more than 120 years and is being used as a historical, cultural, and tourism resource.

This is a place where you can feel the architecture of the Joseon Dynasty without remodeling it!

It's Jin Jin Jin Jin~ Like the lyrics of the song, "It's Jin!" If you come here, you can feel the Joseon Dynasty vibe and you can see the ocean at a glance. It's great.~
Jin says he's in the army now, but I think I'm able to stay comfortable thanks to the soldiers I'
