Abstract

This study examined existing research on Hanyang, specifically its T-shaped road structure. The focus was on the formation and role of intersections in Hanyang, particularly in the district boundaries of Hanseongbu 5. This study explored the possibility that, during the early planning stages, a north-south axis connected the Sejong-daero intersection and Gyeongbokgung Palace with Namdaemun. The Bell Tower Intersection emerged as a crucial transportation hub and the center of Hanyang, linking Jongno, Namdaemun-ro, and Jeondong-ro. Analysis of old maps and literature confirmed the presence of crossroads throughout Hanyang, with Sageori serving as the name for administrative districts. These intersections held significance for both security management and military purposes, making the Bell Tower Cross a representative element of Hanyang's urban landscape during the late Joseon Dynasty.
