Nagasaki Peace Park - The Nagasaki Peace Park (
, Heiwa Ken) is a tranquil space that commemorates the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, which destroyed a significant portion of the city and killed tens of thousands of inhabitants. The complex is comprised of two parks and a memorial museum.
In the center of the complex is the Hypocenter Park with a simple, black monolith that marks the explosion’s epicenter. Not far from it stands a damaged pillar of the former Urakami Cathedral which was destroyed in the blast. Furthermore, there is an area that allows visitors to take a look at a layer of soil below the park’s surface where broken roof tiles, bricks and pieces of glass remain from the explosion.
