'Namgaram Culture Street' was designated as the first model of 'Culture & Art Street' in Korea.

Located in the middle of the metro area, it showcases the traditions and unique cultural characteristics of Jinju as a city of history, culture and art.

It was developed over 10 years of hard work from 1992 to 2002. Construction was carried out under two work stages. The first stage was for the construction of 'Culture & Art Street' and the second stage was for the construction of 'History Street'. In the entire area of Chiram, Manggyeong District, and Namgang riverside(74,546㎡, 2.9㎞) adjacent to Jinyanggyo-Culture & Art Center-Jinjugyo-Cheonsugyo, bamboo groves were restored. Outdoor stages, monuments, sculptures and resting places were furnished. Various cultural spaces including Jinjuseong Fortress, Namgang Watch Tower, Cheonnyeon Square, and Jungang Square were also constructed. Thus, this culture street has changed the entire aspect of this culture & art city, Jinju.

With the natural environment and unique flavor of the Namgang River that flows through the city and the great scenery of Jinjuseong Fortress and Dwibyeori(a cliff) for its background, this culture street has received much recognition as a major tourist attraction of Jinju. It hosts a variety of cultural and art events positively and provides people with opportunities to enjoy them, thus playing an important role in history education and providing Jinju citizens with cozy and comfortable resting places. Namgaram Culture Street is taking its place as a culture and resting space in the heart of the city.
