The Old Walls of Jijeon Village in Muju were mostly all built to mark the dividing line between houses, rather than to keep people out. The walls started out using mud and natural stones, but later changed to more square-shaped stones held together with cement and topped with Korean roofing tiles. The wall blends in harmony with the traditional houses of the village and the slowly flowing Namdaecheon Stream.
