Underground cathedral
OK now this was weird. We went out to this little town to see an underground cathedral built into a salt mine. Yep thats right. And it was so strange and surreal and huge!!
The tunnel took us down into the dark caves and each `room`opened up into a cave with huge crosses and praying areas and stuff. At the end of the tunnel, it opened up into a massive cathedral, just like a normal cathedral with an incredibly high ceiling and it even had row after row of pews for worshippers. Just to get an idea of how big the main cathedral area is it is 75m long, 18m high and can hold 8400 people. And all this is undergroud! It was a bit creepy though with so many dark corners. Several horror films came flooding back.
How on earth they made an underground cathedral like that was just amazing. The walls glintered as the light reflected iff the salt crystal. Very strange and an amazing experience.
