Gyeongjueupseong (Korean: 경주읍성; Hanja: 慶州邑城), also called Gyeongju Eupseong Fortress, is a Goryeo-era walled town (eupseong) in Gyeongju, South Korea. On January 21, 1963, it was made a Historic Site of South Korea. The town was continually occupied from the Goryeo to Joseon periods. It was demolished by the Japanese colonial government in the 20th century. Beginning in the 2010s, the walled town has been gradually restored to its pre-colonial state. It has since become a tourist attraction.
