Gwanghwamun is the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, with three arched gateways and a two-story pavilion overlooking Sejongno Avenue. The gate was moved to the east in 1927 when the Japanese built the office building for the government-general, but was returned to its original location in 1968. On the gate's plaque is a calligraphic inscription 'Gwanghwamun', written by the late President Bak, Jeong-Hi. On either side of the front of the gate stand two large stone statues or Haetai, a mythical animal, which is believed to butt evil-doers with its horns. The statues were built there as a reminder of the honesty and justice expected of government officials.
