The Wieliczka Salt Mine is an official Polish Historic Monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Wieliczka salt mine, excavated from the 13th century, produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the World's oldest operating salt mines. Throughout its history, the royal salt mine was operated by the Żupy Krakowskie (Kraków Salt Mines) company.

Due to falling salt prices and mine flooding, commercial salt mining was discontinued in 1996.

Its attractions include the shafts and labyrinthine passageways, displays of historic salt-mining technology, an underground lake, four chapels and numerous statues carved by miners out of the rock salt, and more recent sculptures by contemporary artists.
