Catedral De Sal
The Cathedral is an enclosure built inside the mines, discover the imposing architecture of this great cultural and religious heritage. There is a place away from the everyday, which invites reflection, self-discovery and internal encounter. You will find the Via Crucis in the first section of the underground route which is 386 meters long and 13 meters high in which 14 Stations of the Via Crucis are arranged, these were carved in Rock Salt by the Miners and represent the different stages lived by Jesus until his crucifixion and burial. The dome is the place where the Tunnel that arrives from the 14 Stations converges with the first visual encounter of the Great Central Chamber of the Salt Cathedral. The World's Largest Carved Cross is only 145 meters away. Fantastic!

This colonial square is one of the most representative spaces of Zipaquirá, it has been named as Plaza Mayor and Plaza González Forero. In the Plaza de los Comuneros is the Diocesan Cathedral, the Government House, the Municipal Palace, the Municipal Council hall and the Bishop's House, among other spaces. Colonial architecture is one of the attractions of the aforementioned places.

Nearly 20,000 men met there, headed by Juan Francisco Berbeo, who came from Socorro, Santander, seeking to sign the capitulations. The Plaza was cobbled in 1823 and in 1938 it was remodeled by placing a central font.
