내궁
내궁, or "Naegung," refers to the inner palace in traditional Korean architecture, particularly during the Joseon Dynasty. It served as the living quarters for the royal family, especially the queen and her attendants. The design of 내궁 emphasized privacy and security, featuring multiple rooms and courtyards.
The layout of 내궁 typically included spaces for daily activities, such as sleeping, dining, and bathing. It was often adorned with intricate decorations and was strategically located within the larger palace complex, known as Gyeongbokgung, to ensure both comfort and protection for the royal inhabitants.
