Nagasaki (???, Nagasaki-shi?) ( listen&_160; (help·info)) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan. It was formerly part of Nishisonogi District. It was a center of European influence in the sixteenth century. Nagasaki became a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.

The city is surrounded by the cities of Isahaya and Saikai, and the towns of Togitsu and Nagayo in Nishisonogi District.
