Description
The Ōura Cathedral is the oldest Catholic church in Japan, a unique testament to the country's Christian history. Built in 1864, this architectural gem combines elements of European and Japanese styles to create a unique atmosphere of spirituality and tranquility.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cathedral impresses with its beautiful stained glass windows, which fill the interior with colorful light on sunny days. The site is especially important for the history of the 'hidden Christians' who for centuries secretly practiced their faith despite persecution.
