The former belfry of Urakami Cathedral. Both of the cathedral’s belfries were destroyed by the bombing, with the north belfry falling down the hillside into a nearby river. Although initially walled up, the remains were excavated in 1971 to be a testament to the bombing. Constructed from reinforced concrete, it measured 5.5 meters in diameter and weighed approximately 50 tons. (© Pixta)
