Memorial Cathedral for World Peace

The cathedral of the Catholic Noboricho Church in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture was completed in 1954 as a symbol for peace and a memorial to the victims of the atomic bomb. Wounded in the bombing himself, the Reverend Hugo Lassalle, proposed the idea, and with the support of the Pope, collected contributions from all around the world to build his church as a memorial to world peace. The modern and majestic architectural design fit for a new post-war era was designed by architect Murano Togo. The building has been designated as a national Important Cultural Property.
