32 PL - Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines (1978)

Brief Description
"This deposit of rock salt in Wieliczka-Bochnia has been mined since the 13th century. Spread over nine levels, it has 300 km of galleries with works of art, altars, and statues sculpted in the salt, making a fascinating pilgrimage into the past of a major industrial undertaking."

维耶利奇卡盐矿

"维耶利奇卡盐矿自公元13世纪开始开采,至今仍在不断挖掘之中。盐矿分为九层,绵延300公里的盐矿长廊上,有着许多艺术品、祭坛还有用盐雕刻的塑像。维耶利奇卡盐矿是中世纪劳动艺术的结晶。"
