OURA CATHEDRAL
【WORLD HERTAGE SITE】Oura Cathdral Church stands on a hill after climbing up a slope from the Oura Cathedral stop of a tram, which is about 20 minutes on the tram from Nagasaki Station. Oura Cathedral was built in 1864 as a church for foreigners. After the dedication ceremony in the next year, Urakami Hidden Christians confessed their religion to Father Petitjan, setting the stage for a miracle in the history of world religion, "Discovery of Hidden Christians". Old Latin Theological Seminary, Old Missionary School, and Old Nagasaki Archbishop's Museum are also the World Heritage properties. The Christian Museum, which displays Christian-related materials beside the cathedral, is also worth a look. In the middle of the hill, there is also the Father's House of St. Kolbe, who became a martyr in Auschwitz after a mission in Japan.
