탑골공원 팔각정

이 팔각정은 1919년 3·1독립운동 당시 학생과 시민들이 이곳에 모여 독립선언서를 낭독하고 “대한독립만세”를 외치며 시위 행진을 시작한 시민 저항의 첫 현장입니다 국보 제2호 원각사지십층석탑과 함께 탑골공원 중심부에 위치한 팔각정은, 근대 공원의 상징이자 대한민국 독립 정신을 일깨우는 역사적 기념물로 존속하고 있습니다
Pagoda Pavilion at Tapgol Park
The Pagoda Pavilion at Tapgol Park was the starting point of public resistance during the March 1st Independence Movement in 1919. It was here that students and citizens gathered to read the Korean Declaration of Independence and shouted “Long live Korean independence!” before beginning a protest march. Located at the center of the park alongside the Ten-Story Stone Pagoda of Wongaksa (National Treasure No. 2), the pavilion remains a symbolic monument of Korea’s modern public space and a powerful reminder of the nation’s fight for independence.
