Throughout the 700 - year history of the Wieliczka mine, working in it was so dangerous that the miners built chapels and carved statues of saints to watch over them. The workmanship is stunning enough one of the chapels soars 12 metres overhead, with an elaborate altar of carved salt pillars. But it's even more moving when you think of why that chapel was built. The Chapel of St Kinga, the patron saint of miners, is one of the most beautiful. The interiors were crafted over 25 years and include recreations of Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper and rock salt statues of St Joseph, the crucifixion of Jesus, Madonna and Child, kneeling monks and Pope John Paul II, who visited in 1999.
