Urakami Cathedral

Urakami Cathedral, also known as Nagasaki Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church located in Nagasaki, Japan. Built in the late 19th century, it was the largest Christian church in East Asia at that time. The cathedral was heavily damaged during the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945 but was later restored. Its Gothic architectural style features tall spires and stained glass windows, symbolizing hope and resilience. Today, it serves as a place of worship and a reminder of Nagasaki’s history, including its experience with nuclear devastation and its ongoing message of peace and reconciliation.
