World Youth Day Seoul 2027 is just one year away!
Featuring the seat of the Archdiocese of Seoul, Myeongdong Cathedral (서울 명동성당) is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Seoul and is also considered the birthplace of the Roman Catholic Church in Korea. The cathedral houses the remains of several individuals: Bishop Laurent Joseph Marie Imbert (1796–1839), and priests Peter Simon (1803–1839), Jacques-Honoré Chastan (1803–1839), and Jean Antoine Charles Pourthié (1830–1866), as well as four Korean martyrs.
Myeongdong Cathedral is located in downtown Seoul and is frequently visited by tourists. Nearby are other popular tourist attractions, such as Namsangol Hanok Village, which preserves traditional Korean houses; N Seoul Tower, which overlooks the city of Seoul; and Namdaemun Market, a traditional market offering a wide variety of food and goods.
