Busanjinseong

The Branch Wall-fortress in Busanjin (釜山鎭城), also known as Maruyama Castle (丸山城, まるやまじょう) and Konishi Castle (少西城), is located at Beomil-dong, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea. The existing wall-fortress remains were constructed by the Japanese military during the Imjin War. There are two assertions on the name of Jaseong (Subordinate Castle). One is the wall-fortress on Jeungsan Mountain with Jwacheon-dong as the mother castle and accordingly called Jaseong. The other is that Jaseong was constructed on the mountain top as the General's terrace.

The Busanjinjiseong Fortress was also called Mangongdae in memory of Ming-dynasty General Wan Shide who stayed at Jaseongdae to reinforce the Korean soldiers defending against the Imjin War. The wall-fortress was repaired after General Wan Shide returned home.
