Zipaquira

From: Colombia
Category: collection
Date: December 2014

Zipaquirá is a municipality and city of Colombia in the department of Cundinamarca. The town is primarily known for its Salt Cathedral, an underground church built inside a salt deposit in a tunnel made as result of the excavation of the salinas (salt mines). Zipaquirá has a very interesting architecture, and the old city centre is a tourist attraction. Its main square is surrounded by old buildings in the Spanish Colonial style. This small city can be reached by train from Bogotá.
