The Complex of Koguryo (Goguryeo) Tombs in North Korea is the first ever UNESCO World Heritage Site in the country. It consists of 30 individual tombs from the Koguryo kingdom, one of the strongest Korean kingdoms in history.
The complex is a burial site for kings, queens and other members of the royal family. Majority of the tombs have brightly coloured murals which reflect the everyday life and even mythologies of the period. The tombs are almost all that remains from the Koguryo Kingdom. The complex has been carefully preserved because it is reminiscent of North Korea’s glorious history.
Many people would think that North Korea is impenetrable and not tourist-friendly. Opposite to this common belief, North Korea is open to tourists and visitors. Guided tours and group packages include visiting and paying homage to the famous Koguryo Tombs.
