Cacica - Salt Mine and Catholic Shrine
Cave in Suceava county
What it feels like
Cold air, drip of water, the strange quiet of underground. The kind of place that makes you whisper without meaning to.
The Cacica salt mine, worked since the 18th century by Polish Catholic settlers, houses a unique Roman Catholic chapel in its galleries, the only underground chapel in a salt mine in Romania. The statues and altar carved in salt are impressive.
Best time to visit
