Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region
Located in the northwest of Kyushu, this contiguous site includes ten villages, the ruins of Hara Castle, and a cathedral dating from the 17th to the 19th century. They reflect the era when the Christian faith was banned, and the revival of the Christian community after the ban was officially lifted in 1873. These sites bear unique witness to the cultural traditions fostered by the hermit Christians of the Nagasaki region who secretly spread their faith during the period of prohibition from 17th to 19th centuries.
