本日は上五島と平戸を見晴らせる黒島へ。東シナ海の風を感じる。黒島は元々は松浦藩の放牧地で、18世紀から開墾移住者を誘致。外海や五島から潜伏キリシタンが集まって島を開墾した土地で、幕末から明治にかけて、カトリックに改宗。世界遺産の黒島天主堂はかなり大きい。
A large red brick Catholic church with white accents and arched windows stands prominently on a hillside. The structure features a tall steeple topped with a cross and a large circular rose window above the main entrance flanked by smaller arched windows. Bushes are planted symmetrically at the base of the facade, and the building is surrounded by greenery and a chain-link fence with a paved path leading to it under a cloudy sky.
