Atomic Bomb Dome

The A-Bomb Dome is an atomic-bombed building in Naka Ward, Hiroshima, and a landmark that symbolizes the city's history. It is preserved as the structure that remained almost alone after the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, while surrounding buildings collapsed. The nearby Memorial Park and riverside lead to spaces for walking or sitting on the grass. As a building symbolizing war and defeat, the atmosphere is solemn when seen in person.
