Gwangju Jaemyeong Seokdeung

Gwangju Jaemyeong Seokdeung is a historic stone lantern inside the National Asian Culture Center in Gwangju. The lantern was made in the early Goryeo period and remained in place before the Jeonnam Provincial Office moved. Until the Joseon period it stood near the south gate of Gwangju Eupseong, then was moved near the Jeollanam-do Provincial Office during the Japanese colonial period, and is presumed to have been at its current location since the late 1960s. Through the restoration project of the old Jeollanam-do Provincial Office, it has now been moved again next to the Sangmu Building.
