"Paldalmun Gate, part of Suwonseong Fortress, was constructed in 1794 during King Jeongjo's reign. This south gate, named after Paldalsan Mountain, features a two-story gate tower with a hipped roof and intricate bracket styles typical of late Joseon architecture. The gate, originally connected to fortress walls, now stands alone due to road construction. As the largest and most impressive structure of Suwonseong Fortress, it represents a significant cultural and architectural heritage."
