A-Bomb Dome
The A-Bomb Dome, officially known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Hiroshima, Japan. It was originally constructed in 1915 as the Industrial Promotion Hall and was one of the few structures to remain standing after the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. The dome serves as a powerful symbol of the devastation caused by nuclear weapons and the resilience of the human spirit.
Today, the A-Bomb Dome is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which commemorates the victims of the bombing and promotes peace. Visitors from around the world come to learn about the impact of the atomic bomb and to advocate for nuclear disarmament. The site stands as a reminder of the importance of peace and the need to prevent such tragedies in the future.
