There are about forty royal tombs for various Korean kings and queens and about thirteen tombs for crown princes and their wives and concubines. The tombs are scattered over eighteen different places, but most of the tombs are in Seoul. Today, tourists can still see the tombs, but they are restricted from walking in certain areas because these areas are considered sacred.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[TVZONE] Royal tombs of the joseon Dynasty where the living meets the dead\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SiTsct0VQ0Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Royal Tombs of the Koryo Dynasty (<strong>\uace0\ub824\uc655\ub989<\/strong>) are located in North Korea. The capital city of the Koryo Dynasty was Kaesong (<strong>\uac1c\uc131<\/strong>), which is located in present day North Korea. Not all the tombs have been identified, but we do know that some of the tombs belonged to deceased Koryo Kings and Queens. Some of the tombs are in poor shape because they have been neglected by the North Korean government, but the ones that are properly maintained have various stone guardians that guard the tomb.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\uace0\ub824\uacf5\uc591\uc655\ub989\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T2d57DrmnNA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Complex of Goguryeo Tombs (<strong>\uace0\uad6c\ub824 \uace0\ubd84\uad70<\/strong>) is also located in North Korea.
