Urakami Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Urakami district, Nagasaki, Japan
The cathedral features Romanesque Revival architecture with rounded arches, stained glass windows, and red brick construction rising over 50 meters into the sky.
Built in 1895, the cathedral suffered complete destruction during the atomic bombing on August 9, 1945, before reconstruction in 1959 following original plans.
The cathedral stands as evidence of Catholicism in Japan, particularly representing the hidden Christian community who maintained their faith through centuries of persecution.
Visitors can access the cathedral daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with regular religious services and guided tours available through advance booking.
Original statues, including the Virgin of Nagasaki bearing marks from the atomic blast, remain on display inside the cathedral.
