One of the city's most prominent landmarks, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial is the only surviving building to stand on the spot where the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945. The building has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, and it serves as a memorial to the more than 140,0000 people who were killed by the bomb. It's also known as the Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome, and can be found in the beautiful Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park alongside the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and the Cenotaph for the A-Bomb Victims.
