Catedral De SalThe Salt Cathedral is one of the most important architectural works in Colombia. It is a tribute of the miners to the Virgin and to God. Initially they had an area to pray in their excavations, then it was expanded and sites were built to pray. It was until 1995, the year the new Cathedral was opened. It is built inside a mountain, it is all underground and represents the appreciation of the miners of each station of the viacrusis and the magnificence of God: It also has a very impressive and unique interior dome, sculptures and religious representations.
