Sculpture of San Angel inside of Zipaquira Cathedral inside the Zipaquira mountain on April 3, 2001. Far from the right-wing paramilitary guns, leftist rebel bombs and the street crime and traffic din of Bogota, devout Colombians have cut and chiseled the awe-inspiring cathedral. Directed by local architect Jose Maria Gonzalez, more than 100 sculptors and miners labored for four years inside the salt mine, blasting chambers, chiseling rock and smoothing the crystallized salt into a majestic and peaceful place of worship in the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic nation.
