The mine, built in the 13th century, produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines still in operation. Commercial mining was discontinued in 1996

due to low salt prices and mine flooding.

The mine's attractions include dozens of statues and four chapels that have been carved out of the rock salt by the miners. The oldest sculptures are augmented by the new

carvings by contemporary artists. About 1.2 million people visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine annually.
