Entering the Cathedral Of Salt.MOD

The Salt Cathedral located in Zipaquirá, Colombia. This is an easy hour drive out of Bogota. The Cathedral is an underground Roman Catholic church built in the tunnels of a salt mine. A person descends about 600 feet into a Halite mountain.
On a Sunday this functioning church may receive up to 3,000 visitors.Because it has no bishop it therefore has no official status as a cathedral in Catholicism.
Three sections at the bottom represent the birth, life, and death of Jesus. The architectural details are hand carved.
This Salt Cathedral is considered one of the most notable achievements of Colombian architecture
