Jeoldu-san
Jeoldu-san ĺ‡é ĺ±±, whose name carries the lugubrious meaning of “beheading mountain”, is a rocky promontory overlooking the Han River in the district of Mapo-gu, Seoul, Korea. It is located at a historic ferry landing, but came into use during the rule of the Daewon-gun in the late 1860s as a place of execution, primarily of native Koreans who had converted to the proscribed Catholic faith.
