World Peace Day 2025: If You Think We Need More Peace, Visit These Monuments

Do you think the world has enough peace currently? If not, this list of peace monuments is for you. While highlighting the atrocities of the past, these beautiful structures showcase how humanity keeps its hope intact. This World Peace Day 2025, falling on 21st September, explore the symbols of survival and peace in a world where finding a moment of silence can be quite challenging.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial

The UNESCO Peace Monument Hiroshima is a structure that has seen the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima. Even though the Prefectural Hall with the grand dome stood for years, its birth as a monument of peace came with the dropping of bombs on 6th August 1945. While everything else was blown to bits, the skeleton of this structure stood tall, emerging as a reminder of the atrocities of nuclear wars.

Apply for your Japan Visa online and secure the lowest airfares to Tokyo, because nothing can teach you more about peace on World Peace Day 2025 than the city that still blooms after the gravest destruction. Also, visit the Children’s Peace Monument in Hiroshima.

Address: 1-10 Otemachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0051, Japan.
AT Suggestion: Visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum next to see the fragments of the first atomic bomb.

Monument Against War and Fascism for Peace

One of the simplest monuments of Peace, indicating that peace should be an everyday part of life, not something extraordinary, hides in Harburg, Germany. This World Peace Day 2025, visit the sinking 45-foot-high, lead-covered pillar, which looks like a grave headstone at the top. The pillar is visible in a chamber below, showcasing the names of multiple visitors who explored Germany in 1986. You can explore this as World Peace Day 2025 activities by securing your Germany Visa or hop on cheap flights to Vienna to see the other.

Sharing the same name, the monument stands in Vienna, where Nazi violence hit the hardest from 1938 to 1945. The pristine white monument is known for its provocative imagery, and also has the names of victims, gas masks, slave labour, and more.

AT Tip: It’s recommended to explore with all-inclusive Vienna tour packages to make better sense of the structure.

Choeung Ek Stupa

One of the most horrifying peace monuments around the world, the Choeung Ek Stupa aims to provide dignity to the victims who were slaughtered by the former PM Pol Pot. The Stupa is a resting place, housing the skulls of over 5,000 people who were tortured and murdered by the Khmer Rouge. Declared by UNESCO as a major Peace monument, it aims to show the world a small portion of the harm that genocides bring.

It’s not recommended for kids to explore on World Peace Day 2025, as at times the ground floor is opened, allowing visitors to see the skulls with no glass windows as a barrier. Secure cheap flights to Cambodia and reserve the best hotels in Phnom Penh to see this attraction.
