Wieliczka Salt mine - Chapel of Saint Kinga

The subterranean Saint Kinga Chapel is the largest among underground chapels - about 100 meters deep - and so big that it is used as a church.
It is completely carved in rock salt, embellished with salty sculptures and bas-reliefs.
Even the chandeliers are made out of salt chrystals!
Incredible. Wonderful.
