爆心地より北東へ約５００メートルの小高い丘の上に建つこの赤レンガ造りの浦上天主堂は、原爆により崩壊したが、被災前の天主堂は浦上の地に暮らしていたカトリック信徒たちが、１８９５年（明治２８年）から赤レンガを一枚ずつ積み上げて３０年の歳月をかけ建てた。当時としては東洋一の偉容を誇る大聖堂であった。そのかろうじて残っていた堂壁や鐘楼も崩れ落ち、一部の堂壁だけが残った。崩れ落ちた鐘楼の一つ（重量５０トン）が現在もこの地に原爆被害の後をとどめて眠っている。 爆心地に程近い当地区は、１７世紀初頭に始まるキリシタン禁令の時代からカトリック信徒のおおいところであり、原子爆弾はこのカトリック信徒の聖地にさく裂し、約１２，０００名の信徒のうち約８，５００名が犠牲となった。長崎市はこの地で亡くなられた方々のご冥福をお祈りし、二度とこにょうな惨禍が繰り返されないことを願って、この銘板を設置する。（昭和６２年８月） |
