Atomic Bomb Dome

The Atomic Bomb Dome, located in Hiroshima, Japan, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a powerful symbol of the devastating impact of nuclear war. Originally known as the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, it was near ground zero when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945. The building partially survived the explosion and now stands as a reminder of the human suffering caused by nuclear weapons. It serves as a memorial to the victims and promotes peace and the importance of nuclear disarmament, encouraging visitors to reflect on the consequences of war.
