Pyongyang was the capital of Koguryo from 427 till 668 and was designated as a secondary capital during the Koryo Dynasty.

Koguryo relocated its seat of power from Jian, China, to the area around Mt. Taesong, with Anhak Palace as its center, and subsequently to the present-day city area between the rivers Taedong and Pothong. Hence, numerous sites from Ancient Korea are found in and around the city.
