Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is located in the center of Hiroshima, and it is dedicated to the legacy of this city, as the first city in the world to be nuclear bombed. Different aspects of the bombing are represented by a variety of buildings and monuments, like the A-Bomb Dome, the building closest to the hypocenter of the nuke, that remains partially standing; and the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound, which contains the ashes of 70.000 unidentified victims of the bomb.
