Mongchontoseong ( Korean: 서울 몽촌토성) is an ancient earthen rampart dating from the Baekje period. [1] It is located what is now in the Olympic Park of Seoul, South Korea.
The fortification walls are estimated to have been about 2.7 km (1.7 mi) in length and approximately 6 to 7 m (20 to 23 ft) high. The fortifications of Mongchontoseong had a palisade atop the wall and a moat surrounding its base. They are part of Wiryeseong with Pungnaptoseong.
During the 1988 Summer Olympics, the running section of the modern pentathlon was held there.[ citation needed] A number of important excavations of the site were conducted prior to the construction of the nearby Olympic Park. [1]
