Santo Domingo Church was built in Nagasaki in 1609 by the Dominican Father Francisco de Morales, using materials from a demolished church in Kagoshima.   The ruins of the church were discovered in 2002 during an archaeological excavation conducted for the reconstruction of Sakuramachi Elementary School. Today, the site is home to the Santo Domingo Church Ruins Museum, where visitors can view the excavated remains alongside Christian artifacts and historical materials discovered across Nagasaki.
