大浦天主堂
日本の開国により来日した宣教師が1864年に建てた教会堂であり、潜伏キリシタンが2世紀ぶりに宣教師と出会い、その後カトリックへ復帰す る者があらわれるなど、新たな信仰の局面を迎えるきっかけとなった「信徒発見」の舞台である。その後に続く大浦天主堂の宣教師と各地の潜伏キリシタン集落 の指導者との接触により、自由に信仰を表明することのできなかった潜伏キリシタンが日本の伝統的宗教や一般社会と共生しながら自らの信仰を続けることによ りはぐくんだ伝統が変容し、終わりを迎えるきっかけとなった。

Oura Cathedral
Oura Cathedral is dedicated to the 26 martyrs of Japan, and was also the stage for an event which became known as the “Discovery of Christians”.
Former Latin Seminary
Although it is popularly known as the Former Latin Seminary, the school’s official name is actually Nagasaki Catholic Divinity School. It was established by Father Petitjean in 1875 (soon after the ban on Christianity in Japan was lifted) in order to train theology students and Japanese priests. It functioned simultaneously as both a divinity school and a lodging house.
Former House of Archbishop
In 1915, the original presbytery (from before Oura Cathedral’s construction) was rebuilt.
