The Tomb of King Muryeong is a 6th-century royal burial chamber discovered intact in 1971. Located in the Songsan-ri tomb complex, it is the only Baekje royal tomb found unlooted. Visitors enter a replica of the brick-vaulted chamber (the original is sealed for preservation) and view a stunning collection of artifacts, including a gold crown, earrings, and a bronze mirror. The tomb's construction shows Chinese influence, and the artifacts reveal the sophistication of Baekje craftsmanship.
