The A-Bomb Dome. This building was the Industrial Promotion Hall until the atomic bomb exploded almost directly above it. Its ruins have remained unchanged and still are in the same state as they have been right after the nuclear explosion.

The center of the Peace Memorial Park with the cenotaph that contains the names of all the known victims of the atomic bomb. In the background you can see the A-Bomb Dome. A flame is located between the A-Bomb Dome and the cenotaph, but it is hard to see on the picture. It will be extinguished when the last nuclear bomb has been destroyed.
This tree once stood a few hundred meters away from the center of the explosion - and survived! It has been replanted to the Peace Memorial Park. Even today you can still see that one side is burnt and the other one is healthy. In the background on the left side of the picture is the Peace Memorial Museum.
