| Dongnipmun Gate was constructed in 1898 through the initiative of Dr.
Seo Jae-pil and on the site of Yeongeunmun Gate, which was the symbol
of the submissive diplomacy of Korea. With a view to inspiring the
spirit of independence, Yeongeunmun Gate was demolished and in its
place, Dongnibmun Gate, resembling Paris' Arc De Triumph, was built.
Dongnibmun Gate was moved 70 m northwest of the original site because of
the construction of Seongsandaero Road in 1979.
