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.
