Hiroshima

The Atomic Bomb Dome, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is the only building that has remained as it was after the bombing, and the main symbol of the destruction caused by it.

A closer look at the damage provoked by the bombing

The lower part of the Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students

The Ota river and the A-Bomb dome, surrounded by modern buildings

The Children's Peace Monument, with the statue of Sadako and the containers for thousands of paper cranes

The Peace Memorial Park and the Flame of Peace. In the background you can see the Cenotaph and the Peace Museum.

Diorama: the city before...

...and the city after.
