Why go
Haemi International Holy Site is a major Korean Catholic pilgrimage site in Seosan, marking the location where thousands of Korean Catholics were martyred during the late-Joseon persecution. The site was visited by Pope Francis in 2014, raising its international profile, and includes memorial halls, exhibits on the persecution history, and a designated 'international holy site' status. For travelers serious about Korean Catholic heritage — and seeing one of the most consequential single sites of Korean Catholic memory — Haemi is the strongest single anchor in the country.
