Goguryeo was an ancient kingdom located in the Korean peninsula, with its capital at Pyongyang.
Established around 37 BCE, the kingdom conquered the Han Dynasty Chinese commandery of Lelang in 313. Buddhism is believed to have been introduced into Goguryeo in 372.
The kingdom fell to combined Tang Chinese + Silla Korean forces in 668, leading to the unification of the peninsula under the kingdom of Silla.
