The most original church in the world - Zipaquira
The Salt Cathedral in Zipaquira near Bogota has to be one of the most original churches in the world. Carvedinto the rock of an old salt mine, the cathedral consists of long passages and wide halls, it nearly resembles a labyrinth. The passages are quite wide and ceilings are high, so no worries about becoming claustrophobic :) The ceilings and walls are covered with salt and there are stalachites hanging from the ceiling. The place is quite damp and cold, so be prepared. The mined shafts are sculpted chapels and stations of the cross. There is one cross per every station and also several larger halls with benches and altars, where people either pray or just sit and enjoy the quiet and holy feeling.This is such a unique place that one should definately visit it!
