Salt Mine Cathedral

On route to Villa de Leiva we visited a salt mine that has been turned into an underground Cathedral for people to worship in and to impress tourists. It was impressive by any standards.
You can see pews at the bottom of this picture- the chambers are massive.

They actually let you hit the wall as hard as you like. There was salt crystal flying all over the place. A health and safety no-no in the UK. I have a nice big piece of crystal as a souvenir.

We had a lovely time
