The Polish city of salt.


The Polish city of salt.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine has existed — and been recognized as a marvel — for so long that its famous visitors include Copernicus, Goethe and Chopin. This incredibly unique space was officially recognized as a UNESCO heritage site in 1978 but had been used as a salt mine near Krakow, Poland, since the 13th century.

[I had never heard of this subterranean city carved of salt. What an interesting history.]

Some of the art work is absolutely astounding, all done by the miners. Statuary, chandeliers, entire grottos of art and carved in the rock salt deposits.
