A line of mounds on the hill
At Haman's Malisan Tumuli, monumental burial mounds follow the ridge. They were built over a long span of history, giving visitors a sense of the importance of this place to Ara Gaya, one of the Gaya polities in ancient southern Korea. The larger mounds occupy the higher ground while smaller tombs extend onto the slopes.
What was found below the grass?
Korea's national heritage service identifies the site as an important cluster of ancient tombs. Excavations have revealed pottery, iron objects and ornaments, traces of technical skill and contact with neighboring communities. Visiting the landscape first and then learning more at Haman Museum or the nearby tomb exhibition hall makes a rewarding heritage outing.
Before you go
Treat the burial mounds as protected heritage, not viewpoints to climb. Outdoor paths may be sloped or affected by weather. Regulations covering Haman Museum state that general admission is free, but museum opening conditions and access to the outdoor site or exhibition hall must be checked separately. Do not assume every gallery is open on your visit date.
