The N Seoul Tower seen from Yongsan

The N Seoul Tower (N서울타워).  Officially the YTN Seoul Tower and commonly known as the Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower.  You'll see this many times during this photo presentation.  It's a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul.  It is 236 meters (774 feet) tall and marks the highest point in Seoul.

It was built in 1971 at a cost of approximately $2.5 million and was opened to the public in 1980. It changed its name to N Seoul Tower in 2005. The "N" stands for 'new,' 'Namsan,' and 'nature.'
