Hiroshima Castle is the former home of the daimyo of the Hiroshima han. It was originally built in the 1590s but was destroyed in the atomic bomb attack in 1945. It was rebuilt in 1958 and now showcases Hiroshima's history prior to the attack. It once served as the Imperial General Headquarters during the First Sino-Japanese War.
