The Wieliczka Salt Mine, Krakow, Poland
Well, it means something special to me…
The mine is a tourist attraction and about one million, two hundred thousand people visit every year. This might seem like a strange sort of place to visit but the attraction is a collection of statues and an entire cathedral that have been carved out of the rock salt by the miners over the years – presumably during their tea breaks. So impressive are the sculptures that in 1978 the Wieliczka salt mine was placed on the original UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

I wondered if someone was somehow going to use this meaning of the word. Good choice, Andrew!
