A-Bomb domes

The A-Bomb Domes, officially called the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, are the remains of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Exhibition Hall, which was near the epicenter of the 1945 atomic bombing. The structure was partially destroyed but not completely demolished, so it stands as a stark reminder of the devastation caused by nuclear weapons. Today, it serves as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of peace, honoring those affected and promoting the goal of nuclear disarmament. Its preserved ruins encourage reflection on the destructive power of war and the importance of striving for a safer, more peaceful world.
