    Hiroshima Peace City Monument Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims

    The Atomic Bomb Dome was originally built in 1915 as an exhibition hall. It was almost directly below the atomic bomb when it exploded on August 6, 1945. Although the building was severely damaged, part of its structure remained standing. Today, it stands as a symbol of the horrors of nuclear weapons and a hope for lasting peace.
