"Myeongdong Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral Church of the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception, is a historic and iconic Catholic church in Seoul. With its stunning Gothic architecture, serene interior, and significant role in the country's religious history, Myeongdong Cathedral stands as a spiritual and architectural landmark, drawing both worshippers and visitors seeking a glimpse into Korea's religious heritage.
Especially during Christmas Time it's worth a visit even for non religious people, as the whole park in front of it will be full with beautiful rose lights."

"Myeongdong Cathedral, the first Western-style brick building in Korea, was completed in May 1898. It is located at the shopping district of Myeongdong.
Myeongdong Cathedral played an important role as a center of political and labor protests in the 1970s and 1980s (during the period of military governments) and became the mecca of pro-democracy activities."
