Hiroshima A-Bomb dome.

The building (originally the Genbaku Dome of the Hiroshima Chamber of Commerce), stood very close to the epicentre of the explosion of the American atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. It was one of the few building left standing following the blast, possibly because the force from the air burst explosion was not clearly aligned in any particular direction immediately below the bomb.

Today it is preserved as a peace memorial and is a UNESCO world heritage site.
