- Jeoldu-san
Jeoldu-san 切頭山, 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 theDaewon-gun in the late 1860s as a place of execution, primarily of native Koreans who had converted to the proscribed Catholic faith. Today it is home to a Catholic shrine and memorial dedicated to the memory of the executed Catholics.External links
