Hiroshima Castle (広島城), also known as Carp Castle, is a reconstructed flatland castle in Hiroshima City. Built in 1589 by feudal lord Mōri Terumoto, it served as a key residence for the Hiroshima Domain’s daimyōs (Mōri, Fukushima, and Asano clans) until the Meiji Restoration (1869). Destroyed in the 1945 atomic bombing, it was rebuilt in 1958 as a concrete replica, with some wooden reconstructions.
