Built inside a salt mine in Zipaquirá, Cundinamarca, it is not really a cathedral but a site of religious tourism that houses an important collection of religious sculptures made in salt and marble.
The old cathedral was built in 1950 as an acknowledgment to the devotion of the miners who work in the mine. This was closed to tourism in 1990 due to lack of security for visitors and the new one was inaugurated in 1995.
