Deep underground in Poland  lies something remarkable but little

known outside Eastern Europe . For centuries, miners have extracted salt

there, but left behind things quite startling and unique. Take a look at the

most unusual salt mine in the world.

From the outside, Wieliczka Salt Mine doesn’t look extraordinary.

It looks extremely well kept for a place that hasn’t mined any salt for

over ten years but apart from that it looks ordinary. However, over two

hundred meters below ground it holds an astonishing secret. This is the salt

mine that became an art gallery, cathedral and underground

lake.
