- List of tallest buildings in Seoul
This list of tallest buildings in Seoul ranks skyscrapers in the South Korean capital city of Seoul by height. The tallest in the city is currently the 73-story Tower Palace in Dogok-dong.[cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=towerpalace3,towerg-seoul-southkorea|title=Tower Palace|accessdate=2008-04-01|publisher=Emporis.com] ]The tallest buildings are concentrated in four different locations: the traditional city center at Jongno, the modern business and financial district in Gangnam along Teheran Road between Gangnam Station and the COEX complex, the financial and political center on the island of Yeouido, and the affluent residential neighbourhood of Dogok-dong.
Seoul is located in a valley surrounded by mountains with one mountain in the center, Namsan. On top of Namsan is Namsan Tower which is considered an iconic image of the city of Seoul and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. To maintain this line of sight, many developers have had to set height limits on their buildings. The city also has strict laws about building heights for reasons of national security stressed by the Korean Air Force and U.S. Air Force. For these reasons, many of the buildings in Seoul are under 20 or 30 storeys.Fact|date=April 2008
