Peace Park 

  Nagasaki's original Urakami Cathedral, completed in 1925, was once the largest church in the Orient. It was destroyed by the atomic bomb and rebuilt in 1959. The remains of the original facade were relocated to the park that now marks the bomb hypocenter. 

Urakami Cathedral remains
  The main statue in the Peace Park has one arm raised to symbolize the threat of nuclear weapons and one arm outstretched in a bid for peace.
