Jeonju's Hidden Picnic Spot: How About This Martyrdom Shrine?

Jeonju's hidden picnic gem, the Chimyeongjasan Martyrdom Shrine, is a place I never realized had such beautiful scenery and lush greenery, as I had only visited it for Catholic pilgrimages. This shrine was established when the remains of Augustine Yu Hang-geom, a martyr from the Joseon Dynasty's Catholic persecution in the Jeolla region, were moved to the summit of Chimyeongjasan. Today, it stands as the Chimyeongjasan Martyrdom Shrine. The Way of the Cross leading to the summit of Chimyeongjasan, the heart of the shrine, is a wonderful trail for a walk and reflection, even for non-believers. At the entrance, Montmartre Square and the Hall of Peace serve as both a resting place for pilgrims and a haven for Jeonju residents. While it's worth exploring just the area around the Hall of Peace on the ground level, if you follow the Way of the Cross upward, you'll encounter the Mountain Fortress Church built into the cliffs. This church, steeped in history, offers a unique charm distinct from the ground-level sanctuary. A little further up, the observatory provides a panoramic view of Jeonju city, offering a refreshing and liberating experience. Chimyeongjasan Shrine might be an unfamiliar travel destination, but it's a place where you can find rest and tranquility, even if you're not a believer. If you're planning a trip to Jeonju, I highly recommend stopping by for a light visit. ⛪️ Chimyeongjasan Martyrdom Shrine 📍 120 Baramsweneun-gil, Wansan-gu, Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do 🕰️ Shrine garden open at all times / Hall of Peace and Mountain Fortress Church have restricted opening hours 🚘 Parking available
