'''Hanzeong''' is the capital of [[Metzetta]], and the country's largest, most populous city. 9.5 million people live in the city, around 12% of the country's entire population. The metropolis sprawls over an area of more than 600 square miles.
== Etymology ==
[[File:Hanzeong Street.jpg|thumb|Night scene from Hanzeong.]]
Hanzeong roughly translates as Giant Fortress.
== History ==
Hanzeong is an ancient settlement, possibly one of the oldest in the country. It was said to have been founded by [[Yang-jo]] over 4000 years ago.

Hanzeong was originally surrounded entirely by the Fortress Wall of Hanzeong to provide its citizens with security from wild animals, thieves and attacks, but most of the original wall no longer stands; a short stretch and several original gates do survive today and are protected. While the walls still stood, the gates of the city were opened and closed each day, signalled by the ringing of bells from Doechaemun Belfry.

Hanzeong hosted the first [[Istroyan Games]] in [[Hanzeong 1950 Summer Games|1950]], and became the first city in [[Alshar]] to host the Winter Games in [[Hanzeong 2000 Winter Games|2000]].
