It was erected outside Daegu's south gate in 1737, the 13th year of King Yeongjo's reign, at the suggestion of Min Eungsu, the Gyeongsang Province governor (gwanchalsa). Min Eungsu wrote the inscription, and Baek Sanghwi did the calligraphy. The inscription records that the fortress was 2,124 bo around, that four gates were made, and that 78,534 people were mobilized for the work over 6 months. The monument was moved to a hyanggyo (local Confucian school) in 1932 and came to its present site in 1980. Parking and admission are both free.
