Abstract
Before and after the unification of the Three Kingdoms, Silla organized the entire city into a large social production space called grid type street section, and embodied the ancient system of status called ‘GolPumJe System’ into the space. It also established the hierarchical spatial structure of the Capital, which culminated in the royal palace, by building JoWonJeon Building in the royal palace, and expanding the royal palace area. So as Gyeongju, the Silla’s Capital, had emerged as the top political center encompassing the former Three Kingdoms. And Wolseong castle, where the royal palace is located, had secured the status of a nucleus space not only in the Capital but in the entire area. The changes in the spatial structure resulted in the establishment of a hierarchical spatial structure that culminates in Wolseong, the royal palace, and Gyeongju, the Capital city. Silla built a hierarchical spatial structure based on the topographical conditions of the Gyeongju Basin and the previous tradition of the Capital’s construction, while using the Tang dynasty’s Capital called JangAnSeong as a model. Before and after the unification of the three kingdoms, the changes in the spatial structure of the Silla’s Capital had strongly inherited the old tradition since the medieval period in Silla dynasty.
