Songhyeon Green Plaza, located between Gyeongbokgung Palace and Jongno, is a space for culture and rest.
The site was formerly used as housing for Shiksan Bank during Japanese rule.
After Korea’s liberation, it served as a residence for the US Embassy and military personnel.
Later in 1997, it was returned to the Korean government but remained unused for years.
In 2022, the ownership was transferred to the Korean House and Land Corporation and then to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, which redeveloped it into a green plaza and opened it to the public.
