The Salt Cathedral
History of Taina Lima - Bahia, Brasil
The Salt Cathedral, located in the Zipaquirá salt mines in Colombia, is a Catholic and culturally important sanctuary. It integrates the "Parque do Sal" complex, together with the Cathedral, offering a complete experience, including a square with an imposing cross, the Salt Dome, the Mine, the Brine Museum, the dam, the forest area and the Cathedral itself underground, dedicated to mining and geology. This underground construction, opened in 1995, replaced the original from 1954. The Cathedral, voted Colombia's No.1 Wonder in 2007, provides a complete experience with several attractions, representing the history, religion and geology of the region.
