Amsa-dong Prehistoric Settlement Site
A Neolithic archaeological site in eastern Seoul with excavated hut remains, reconstructed dwellings and museum displays based on finds from the area.
The site was rechecked in September 2026, and the annual Gangdong Prehistoric Culture Festival returns here October 16–18 with archaeology experiences and public programs.
Why go
It gives visitors a rare way to connect Seoul with a much longer history than palaces and modern neighborhoods, while separating actual excavated evidence from later reconstruction and interpretation.
