It is also an educational and cultural city, and is home to the Chonbuk National University.

韓国，全羅北道の道都。百済(くだら)時代には都が置かれた。朝鮮王朝李氏の本貫の地でもあり，朝鮮王朝時代の全州城の城門，中央からの高官の宿舎，韓屋などが残り，今なお韓屋古都の面影を残している。韓国第１の穀倉地帯湖南平野の南東部に位置する，交通の要衝。朝鮮王朝実録の手写本４部のうちの１部を保管する全州史庫が置かれ，秀吉軍の侵略で他の３史庫は消失したが，全州史庫所蔵本だけは戦火を免れた。1894年の甲午農民戦争の際には，全執準の率いる東学党農民軍が全州城に立てこもった。パンソリの中心地としても名高い。教育文化都市でもあり，国立全北大学校がある。米穀のほか製紙，扇，製糸などが有名だが，韓国の伝統食文化の中心地の一つで，全州ビビンバは最高の味といわれる。64万9728人（2010）。
