Seongjeosimni (Korean: 성저십리; Hanja: 城底十里, or sometimes romanized as Seongjeo Shibri) was the peripheral area of Joseon's capital city, Hanseongbu (한성부), literally meaning areas 10 Ri (Korean mile) around the Fortress Wall of Seoul. Though this area was outside of the Fortress Wall, clearly it was a suburb area within city limits of the Hanseongbu. While it was mainly a residential area, some of its components took important role in Joseon's governmental functions, including diplomacy and defense.
