The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is dedicated in memory of the victims of the nuclear attack on August 6, 1945 when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The Park is visited by more than one million people each year.
There are three Peace Bells in the Peace Park. The most well-known Peace Bell stands near the Children's Peace Monument and consists of a large Japanese bell hanging inside a small open-sided structure. Visitors are encouraged to ring the bell for world peace.
The Peace Bell was built on September 20, 1964. The surface of the bell is a map of the world, and the "sweet spot" is an atomic symbol. The inscriptions on the bell are in Greek (γνῶθι σεαυτόν), Japanese, and Sanskrit. It is translated as "Know yourself."
