'The Basilica of the Twenty-Six Holy Martyrs of Japan' is the official name of Oura church. It was designated as a National Treasure in 1933.
We went to the church while we were staying in Nagasaki.
It is also called the Church of the 26 Japanese Martyrs.
For many years it was the only Western-style building and is said to be the oldest Christian church in Japan.
