Pyongyang Castle is one of the National Treasures of North Korea [1]. The castle was attacked by Geunchogo of Baekje in 375 [1]. In 427, Jangsu of Goguryeo transferred the Goguryeo capital from Gungnae Fortress to Pyongyang Castle, a more suitable region to grow into a burgeoning metropolitan capital [1].
