That bomb left some 140,000 affected among the dead, injured and family, friends or people who to some extent saw their lives drastically changed after that event.
The construction of this park was not only done to pay tribute to all those affected but also aims to raise awareness around the world of the harmful and drastic effects that nuclear disasters can have and promote peace in the world. In the park you can find several monuments and museums that remember that day, as well as several historical places in the surroundings and that are visited by people from all over the world every year.
