Zipaquira (CO)

Zipaquirá (pronunciation: [sipakiˈɾa]) is a municipality and city (109,146 inhabitants in 2015) of Colombia in the department of Cundinamarca. It is part of the Greater Bogotá Metropolitan Area, and is the capital of the province. It is also the headquarters of the diocese of the same name, that includes much of the Department of Cundinamarca. The town is primarily known for its Salt Cathedral, an underground church built inside a salt mine in a tunnel made as result of the excavation of the salinas. Founded in 1600, Zipaquirá has an original architecture, and the old city centre is a tourist attraction. Its main square is surrounded by old buildings in the Spanish Colonial style.
