===Post-war=== After the war, the [[Ryukyu University|University of the Ryukyus]] was established in 1950 on the castle site, where it remained until 1975. In 1958, ''[[Shureimon]]'' was reconstructed and, starting from 1992, the 20th anniversary of reversion, the main buildings and surrounding walls of the central castle were reconstructed. At present, the entire area around the castle has been established as "Shuri Castle Park". In 2000, along with other ''[[gusuku]]'' and related sites, it was designated as a [[United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization|UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]]. However, only remnants such as stone walls and building foundations extant before 1950 are officially designated as World Heritage. In addition, 2000 saw the [[Shureimon]] gate at Shuri Castle featured on the new [[2000 yen note]], which entered circulation to commemorate the new millennium and the [[26th G8 summit]], which was held in Okinawa.
