The tomb of the Korean admiral Yi Sun-sin (Korean: 이충무공묘; Hanja: 李忠武公墓) is located in Eumbong-myeon [ko], Asan, South Korea. On January 21, 1963, it was designated Historic Site of South Korea No. 12.[1]
Yi defended Korea during the 1592–1598 Imjin War and died in combat.[2] Yi was originally buried in his hometown.[1] Sixteen years later, it was moved to its current location.[2] His tomb is circular and has a tumulus over it. Yi and his wife are buried in the tomb. His tombstone is a later addition; it was engraved in 1707 (Korean calendar).[1] The tomb is surrounded by various stone statues and monuments.[2]
