Kŏnjisansŏng (Korean: 건지산성; Hanja: 乾芝山城; RR: Geonjisanseong) was a Korean fortress in Seocheon County, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. On January 21, 1963, it was made Historic Site of South Korea No. 60.[1][2]
It is located on the mountain Geonjisan. It was built possibly around the Baekje period; precise dates are unknown.[1][2] Excavations on it began in 1999. A building in its site from the late Joseon period was confirmed.[2] A small Buddhist temple called Bongseosa was inside the walls.[1][2]
