    An artillery pavilion, called por in Korean, is an outwardly projecting structure topped with a pavilion, inside which artillery is installed for use in attacking the enemy. There are five artillery pavilions in Hwaseong Fortress.

    The Eastern Artillery Pavilion was built on a flat area between the Eastern Bastion I and the Eastern Bastion II. The pavilion consists of three floors. Soldiers commonly used the upper floor to monitor the surrounding areas. The bottom and middle floors were designed for attacking the enemy with artillery and guns.
