Poland’s Underground Salt Cathedral #82493819
Description
WIELICZKA, POLAND: The Chapel of St. Kinga in the Wieliczka Salt Mine was carved out of salt over a span of three decades. The miners usually went to work before daybreak and returned after sundown, rarely emerging into daylight. To pass the time, and to immortalize their national pride and religiosity in art, miners began carving figures, chandeliers and eventually this elaborate chapel out of salt. The Chapel of St. Kinga is located 101 meters underground and is rented out for weddings and concerts.
