The Yangnim-dong Missionary Cemetery is the final resting place of 23 missionaries who brought Christianity to Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City and led the movement to free the nation from under Japanese colonial rule. Yangnim-dong in Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City was the main area in which Priest Bae Yu-ji and Dr. Clement Owen carried out their work as the first missionaries to Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City. Located nearby is a monument dedicated to Priest Bae Yu-ji and the Owen Memorial Building, built in honor of Dr. Owen and his grandfather. Both memorials are cultural assets and particularly prized by locals of the Christian faith.
