Sŏngsansansŏng (Korean: 성산산성; Hanja: 城山山城; RR: Seongsansanseong) was a Korean fortress on the mountain Jonamsan (조남산) in what is now Haman County, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.[1][2] The fortress has also historically gone by the name Hamansansŏng (함안산성).[2] On January 21, 1963, it was made a Historic Site of South Korea.[1]
The fortress was likely constructed by the Gaya confederacy (42–562, Korean calendar).[1][2] It has two sets of stone walls.[2]
