The Atomic Bomb Dome

The Atomic Bomb Dome, also known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is a historic building that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. It was originally built in 1915 as a commercial exhibition hall and was later used as a public exhibition hall and art gallery. The building's unique shape, with its oval dome and steel frame, has become a symbol of the devastating effects of the atomic bomb and a powerful reminder of the importance of peace. Today, the Atomic Bomb Dome is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who come to pay their respects and learn about the history of the atomic bombing. The dome is not open to the public, but visitors can view it from the outside and learn about its history and significance through exhibits and guided tours
