The Oryundae Martyrs' Shrine is a significant place preserving the history of Korean Catholicism. It features the Martyrs' Cathedral, which houses the mausoleums of eight Busan martyrs and the remains of 26 Korean martyrs, along with the Korean Martyrs' Museum, showcasing various artefacts.

Behind the church lies the Way of the Cross, a symbolic walkway representing the sufferings of Jesus, leaving a profound impression with every step you take.

While the museum and Daeseongjeon Shrine are currently under construction, there are still plenty of other places to explore. Keep an open mind, embrace the unfamiliar, and discover how truly enlightening travel can be.
