This paper focused on the characteristics of Dongnae Goeupseong Fortress(東萊 古邑城), which played an important role in the military and diplomatic aspects of local governance in the southeastern sea of Silla. Dongnae Goeupseong is a Saturn that is somewhat larger than the scale of 郡 fortress in the coastal region of Gyeongnam built in the 8th and 9th centuries. Through the wells and roof tiles excavated in the municipal survey, it can be seen that before Dongnae Goeupseong was built, there were already authoritative buildings or towns related to the government on the site of Dongnae Goeupseong. At the western end, the highest point inside the Goeupseong Fortress, there are walls and pavilions, which are considered local administrative facilities. Through the change in the location of Maenapgang, which was used for rituals, the administrative district was expanded in the Goryeo Dynasty, and Maenaprye was also incorporated into the administrative district. The river that joins Suyeongman Bay from Danggam-dong through Mangmi Pass passes through Dongnae Goeupseong from east to west, and it is said that it functioned as a canal by adding dredging works, embankment construction, and artificial facilities presumed to be berth facilities at the end of Goryeo. Dongnae Goeupseong was built with stonework on the southeast wall and Saturn on the northwest wall, which increased the defense of the wall and at the same time would have had a tangible effect on foreign envoys by dealing with the water pressure of the river flowing out to the east end. As such, it was confirmed that Dongnae Goeupseong was not only a high-middle-class administrative office, controlled the coast of ancient Busan, and used as a venue for the arrival ceremony of diplomacy with Japan, but also promoted the convenience of logistics movement through the existence of rivers inside Dongnae Goeupseong.
