peace memorials
Antiwar tribute sites
Peace memorials are monuments or sites commemorating the end of war, honoring victims of conflict, or promoting peace as a value.
Unlike war memorials that often celebrate military victory or heroism, peace memorials typically emphasize loss, reconciliation, or the hope for lasting peace: The Hiroshima Peace Memorial stands as a reminder of nuclear devastation.
They range from solemn architectural structures to gardens and public sculptures.
