Seomun Market opened in its current location in the 1920s after reclaiming the Cheonhwangdangji Reservoir, but it has a much longer history. In the Joseon dynasty, Seomun Market was one of three major markets in the nation. It was called Seomun Market because it was located on the west side of the Daegu Fortress. Despite relocating, the alleyways of the original market still feature names of the items available there, such as Hongdukkae Pancake and Chicken Pancake Alley. Textile-related goods are the main products available now, but they also offer a little bit of everything else, including silk goods, dry goods, undershirts, crafts, dishes, clothes, and dried seafood.
