    Jogokgwan - Yeongnam Gateway No.2 (조곡관 - 조령제2관문)

    Gateway No. 2 was built by Sin Chungwon from Chungju in 1594, the 27th year of the reign of King Seonjo and it is also called Jungseong (middle gate). During the reign of King Sukjong the old wall was renovated. Doors (Jodongmun and Juseomun) were installed on Gateway 2, while offices were installed on Gateway No. 1 (Chogokseong) and Gateway No. 3 (Yeongseong). Later on, in 1907, the damaged parts of Jodongmun and Juseomun were restored. After the restoration the name Joeongmun was changed to Jogokwan. The gatehouse has three front sections, two side sections, two side doors on the left and right, and a Paljak roof (named for its resemblance to the Chinese character for the number eight, 八). The archway is 3.6 meters high, 5.8 meters thick, the door is 3.6 meters high, and 3.6 meters wide and 11 cm thick. The rampart left to right 4.5 meters high, 3.3 meters thick and 73 meters long. The wall left to right is 2 meters high, 2 to 3 meters thick and 400 meters long to the east and 100 meters long to the west.
