#Sign up for tripbest7月酒店试睡員 The proverb Save the best for last means the best is yet to come, and the St Kinga’s Chapel 100 feet underground is a perfect example. The Wieliczka Salt Mine was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978. After entering the chapel, we were all shocked! It was too beautiful to be real The construction of St Kinga’s Chapel was labor-intensive. First of all, it was quite difficult to dig out such a large space about 90 meters underground with simple tools and manpower. It was also necessary to transport 20,000 tons of salt rock to the ground and then carve it. It was a pioneering effort to build such a stunning and magnificent church in 70 years. Today, the church is still in operation and people can apply to rent it for weddings and other events. Miners have been mining salt in the salt mines without seeing the sun for many years, which can easily make individuals depressed and depressed. Since religious belief was the life sustenance of the people at that time, the construction of this church was finally started in 1896 and completed in 1963. It provides a place for workers to worship and pray for safe work. There are many exquisite and detailed reliefs in the church, which make people admire the perseverance and persistence of the predecessors. Among them is the salt sculpture of Da Vinci's most famous painting - "The Last Supper". And the salt chandelier hanging high above the head was carved by three craftsmen in 67 years.
