Shuri Castle (首里城, Shuri-jō, Okinawan: Sui Ugusuku) was a Ryukyuan gusuku castle in Shuri, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Between 1429 and 1879, it was the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, before becoming largely neglected. In 1945, during the Battle of Okinawa, it was almost completely destroyed. After the war, the castle was re-purposed as a university campus. Beginning in 1992, the central citadel and walls were largely reconstructed on the original site based on historical records, photographs, and memory. In 2000, Shuri Castle was designated a World Heritage Site, as a part of the Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu. On the morning of 31 October 2019, the main courtyard structures of the castle were again destroyed in a fire. 首里城(沖繩縣首里城:Sui Ugusuku)是日本沖繩縣首里市的一座琉球城。 在 1429 年至 1879 年間,它曾是琉球王國的宮殿,但在很大程度上被忽視了。 1945年,在沖繩之戰中,它幾乎被完全摧毀。 戰後,城堡被重新用作大學校園。 從 1992 年開始,根據歷史記錄、照片和記憶,中央城堡和城牆在原址上大部分重建。 2000年,首里城作為琉球王國宮城遺址及相關財產的一部分被指定為世界遺產。 2019 年 10 月 31 日上午,城堡的主要庭院結構再次被大火燒毀。
