Hiroshima Castle, also known as Carp Castle, is a historic Japanese castle located in the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Originally constructed in the late 16th century by the feudal lord Mori Terumoto, the castle played a significant role as the center of power in the region during the feudal era. The original structure was destroyed by the atomic bombing in 1945, but it was later reconstructed in 1958. The five-story main keep now serves as a museum, offering visitors insights into the history and culture of Hiroshima prior to World War II.
