Shuri Castle
was the royal castle of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It is still unknown when Shuri
Castle was originally built but it has been rebuilt more than once having
burned down several times. The place was designated a national treasure
as early as 1924. During WWII, the castle was completely destroyed by
the US army; and after the war, the University of the Ryukyus campus was
built on the site totally obliterating the last remnants of the castle.
After the campus was transferred, Shuri Castle was restored and opened
as Shuri Castle Park in 1992.Shuri Castle Park Related Contents
