Constructed of red brick, Jeondong Catholic Church honors the Joseon Dynasty Catholic martyrs, massacred on this site in the 18th century. Constructed in 1908 according to a design by Priest Poinel, the church combines Romanesque and Byzantine architectural styles to create a classical structure topped with three domed bell towers. You cannot enter the church, so stroll around the site's exterior and, if you can get past the crowds, try to take a peek from the entrance into the lavishly decorated interior.

It closes 5p.m. but you can take a picture only the architecture without a person. It's more simple and wonderful than with people. You can enter for free. 입장료없음/ 동절기 17시 폐쇄

A beautiful Catholic Cathedral, it is not to big but very homie, feel so calm and peaceful there. For people with extra size as i am, it will be a bit hard to kneel and pray
