Immaculate Conception Cathedral, also known as Urakami Cathedral, is a significant Catholic church located in Nagasaki, Japan. It was originally constructed in 1925 to serve the local Christian community, many of whom had faced persecution during the Edo period. The cathedral was tragically destroyed during the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. However, it was rebuilt in 1959 and stands today as a symbol of resilience and peace.
