Samseonghyeol

Samseonghyeol is a site in Jeju City, South Korea, with three holes in the ground from which, according to legend, the three divine founders of Tamna, ancestors of the Go, Yang and Bu clans, emerged. A shrine was built there in the 16th century, and ancestral rites are still held at the site, which is protected as a historic monument.
