Gaeksa-gil (객사길)

Gaeksa, which was installed in every town during the Goryeo and Joseon periods, was a type of accommodation where foreign envoys or government officials from other regions stayed. Gaeksa can still be seen today in downtown Jeonju and there's a "Gaeksa-gil Street" at the main street of the old city center. The street features countless roadside shops and franchise restaurants so both Jeonju locals and tourists frequently visit the area. Also, Jeonju Gaeksa-gil is where the Jeonju International Film Festival is held every year. Considered as one of the three main Korean film festivals, the Jeonju International Film Festival primarily presents independent films and has discovered many hit movies and new actors. On one side of Gaeksa-gil, you can also find Jeonju Cine Complex and several movie theaters, which is why it is called the "Film Street." In the back of the Film Street, restaurants, cafes and clothing shops attract movie fans to form so-called "Gaengnidan-gil."

Pungnammun Gate was built during the Joseon dynasty in 1734 and is a designated Treasure. Pungnammun Gate was the southernmost gate among the four city gates of Jeonju. The structure was severely damaged by fire in 1767, followed by the restoration of the gate tower afterward. The gate was burnt down once again during the Imjin War and was restored to the gate that is seen today.

Jeonju Jeondong Catholic Cathedral (전주전동성당)

51 Taejo-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk-do

Jeondong Catholic Cathedral in Jeonju was built in honor of Roman Catholic martyrs of the Joseon dynasty on the very same spot the martyrs lost their lives. The land was purchased by French Priest Baudenet in 1891 (28th year of King Gojong), but construction of the church did not begin until 1908. Construction was completed in 1914, a time during which Korea was under Japanese rule. Though originally built just outside of Pungnammun Gate, the site of the martyrs, the church was later moved to its current location for expansion.

The first Romanesque building in the Honam region, Jeondong Catholic Cathedral is made of gray and red bricks and bears a striking resemblance to the Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul, also designed by Priest Poinel. Not only considered one of the most beautiful Catholic churches in Korea, some even go so far as to say it is one of the most beautiful structures in all of Korea, citing the church’s unique combination of Byzantine and Romanesque architectural styles. The rectangular building is topped with three Byzantine bell towers (to the right, center, and left) and boasts arched ceilings, several of which meet in the form of a cross.

It is interesting to note that some of the bricks used in construction of the church were made using materials from the Jeonjueupseong Walled Town, which was torn down by the Japanese. It is also said that the cornerstone of the church came from a wall of Jeonjueupseong Walled Town near Pungnammun Gate.
