After the atomic bomb exploded, buildings around the center were razed to the ground and about 70,000 people were killed. Today, the site of the atomic bomb drop is a memorial park that houses the Atomic Bomb Drop Site Monument, the Atomic Bomb Museum, and the remains of the Urakami Catholic Church. The monument to the center of the atomic bomb drop now consists of a black granite pillar about 15 meters high with the words "center of the atomic bomb drop" engraved on it. There is a small stone tower in front of the monument, which houses the list of the atomic bomb victims.
