Fortress site of Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong

The Fortress site of Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong (Korean: 경상좌수영성지) is located in Suyeong-dong, Suyeong District, Busan, South Korea.

The Fortress site of Jwasuyeong is the site of the main fortress of the Gyeongsangjwado naval forces during the Joseon. At one time, seven naval ports with a total of 65 battle ships and 40 auxiliary vessels were under its command and charged with the defense of the east coast area.

The command post was first located at Busanpo, then relocated to Gaeunpo at Ulsan, and immediately before the Imjin War, was moved to this place. It was moved to Gammanipo during the reign of King Injo, and moved back here in 1652, the third year of the reign of King Hyojong. Thereafter, it remained at this site until the naval forces were disbanded as part of the broader reformation of the military system in 1895.
