Eonyang Castle, designated as Historical Site No. 153, was first built in the Three Kingdoms period and has been officially preserved as an historical site. It differs from other Korean castles because of its location in a field, rather than on a mountain. The fortress is located in the geographical center of present-day Eonyang. Eonyang may have been strategically important because it served as a transportation hub connecting Gyeongju, Ulsan, Miryang and Yangsan. The fortress was originally built of mud, but in the Joseon period (14th century) was rebuilt using stone. The fortress is of significance to researchers because it demonstrates the transition of fortress construction between the Goryeo and Joseon political periods.[ citation needed ]
