A monument called the Gates of Peace has been completed in Hiroshima, one week before the city marks the 60th anniversary of the world's first nuclear bombing. The monument was designed by French artist Clara Halter and architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
It features 10 translucent nine-metre arches with the word "peace" inscribed in 49 languages.
The Gates of Peace stretches some 100-metres along a boulevard facing the Peace Memorial Park, which will be the main venue for commemorations of the August 6, 1945 nuclear attack.
