The A-Bomb Dome

What would a visit to Hiroshima be without visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and a stop at this A-Bomb Dome? I've posted up about Sadako Sasaki and the Children's Peace Monument earlier, and if you missed it, do visit and read about it.

The A-Bomb Dome (Atomic Bomb Dome,原爆ドーム,Genbaku Dōmu) is Hiroshima's best-known symbol and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Prior to the bombing, this Dome was the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall.

I'm not going to go in detail about this dome because I think you can pretty much google it up and find a wealth on information about it immediately. Go on, google them up. You should, you know.
