Nagasaki Harbour and Nakamachi Church

Nagasaki Harbour and Nakamachi Church

This photo captures the northern part of Nagasaki City and the entrance to Nagasaki Port taken from the mountain behind Fukusaiji Temple. The red brick building in the center is Nakamachi Church constructed in 1899 on the site where the residence of the lord of the Omura Domain used to be. Therefore, this photo is presumed to have been taken between 1896 and 1899 when the Fortress Zone Act was implemented and it was prohibited to take photos of Nagasaki city. The roof of the main hall of Fukusaiji Temple is visible at the bottom of the photo. The brick building on the right is the Tobacco Public Corporation. A row of warehouses on the coast face the sea in the center of the photo.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:A. Farsari, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
