Takatsuki Catholic Church

This cathedral is located on the grounds of Takatsuki Catholic Church in Nomi-cho, Takatsuki City. The cathedral bears the name of Takayama Ukon, a famous Christian daimyo and the lord of Takatsuki Castle. The church is modeled after the cathedral in Manila where Takayama ended his days after being exiled from Japan due to the prohibition against Christianity; a statue depicting Takayama in prayer stands outside the cathedral.
