More information on Urakami Cathedral
The original Urakami Cathedral was built in 1914, but destroyed when the atomic bomb detonated over the district. What remained of the cathedral is now on display in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. The blackened face on a statue of an angel looking skyward is particularly poignant. A replacement for the largest cathedral in Asia was built after the war, in 1959. In 1980, workers re-designed the building to resemble its original appearance.
