Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá

The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá (''Spanish: Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá'') is an underground Roman Catholic church built within the tunnels of a salt mine 200 meters underground in a Halite mountain near the town of Zipaquirá, in Cundinamarca, Colombia. It is a very popular tourist destination and place of pilgrimage in the country.〔CALA, Bibiana. ''Los relatos populares reactivados por la institución social del turismo: el caso de Zipaquirá y Nemocón''. Monografía de tesis. Universidad de Los Andes. Bogotá, 2000.〕 The name "Salt Cathedral" is mostly to attract tourists - while a functioning church that receives as many as 3,000 visitors on Sundays, it has no bishop and therefore no official status as a cathedral in Catholicism.
The temple at the bottom has three sections, representing the birth, life, and death of Jesus. The icons, ornaments and architectural details are hand carved in the halite rock. Some marble sculptures are included.
The Salt Cathedral is considered one of the most notable achievements of Colombian architecture.〔( El nuevo Diario. Brújula para leer. Zipaquirá )〕 Also it has been denominated as "Jewel of Modern Architecture".〔( Las 7 maravillas de Colombia. Zipaquirá Colombia. Terra Viajes )〕 The cathedral represents for the Colombian people a valuable cultural, environmental and religious patrimony.〔Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca CAR. Catedral de sal de Zipaquirá entre las siete maravillas de Colombia. ()〕
The cathedral is part of a larger complex including "''Parque de la Sal''" (Salt Park),〔http://www.catedraldesal.gov.co/ "Parque de la Sal", En: (Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá )〕 and a Museum of mining, mineralogy, Geology and natural resources.
== Geological formation ==
Salt deposits in Zipaquirá were formed 250 million years ago, and were raised above sea level during the late Tertiary period, when the Andes were formed.〔CARDALE de Schrimpff, Marianne, ''Breve informe sobre unas excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en las salinas de Zipaquirá, Cundinamarca'', in: (Boletín Museo del Oro ), (Banco de la República, Colombia ), No. 1, enero-abril de 1978, p. 39-41
