The Joseon royal tombs include the tombs of royal family members throughout the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). These tombs were listed as UNESCO World Heritage items in 2009. Joseon royal tombs are divided into two main categories: the neung (능, 陵) and the won (원, 園). The neung are the tombs of the kings and queens and those of the parents of the kings who were later granted the title of "king" after the enthronement of their sons. The tombs of other royal family members are called won. There are a total of 40 neung tombs and 14 won tombs for the royal Yi dynasty that ruled over Joseon. Most of the royal tombs, all except three, are situated within 40 kilometers of Seoul. These tombs represent both the Joseon people’s belief in the afterlife and Confucian values, such as filial piety, patriotism and manners. They also show off the art, science, beliefs and mindset of society at that time, which have all changed as we have moved into the present.
