The Atomic Bomb Dome. It was a government building or something before the bombing, and it is strange that it survived as well as it did given its proximity to the hypocentre of the bomb. It was almost immediately preserved in this half-destroyed state as a symbol of the effects of the bomb.

This plaque seems to describe the events of August 6, 1945.
