Not sure why on that but here is some information.

The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá (Spanish: Catedral de Sal de Zipaquirá)
is an underground Roman Catholic church built within the tunnels of a
salt mine 200 metres (220 yd) underground in a halite mountain near the
town of Zipaquirá, in Cundinamarca, Colombia. It is a tourist destination
and place of pilgrimage in the country.The temple at the bottom has
three sections, representing the birth, life, and death of Jesus. The icons,
ornaments and architectural details are hand carved in the halite rock.
Some marble sculptures are included.
The Salt Cathedral is considered one of the most notable achievements of Colombian
architecture, being described as a "Jewel of Modern Architecture".
The cathedral represents a valuable cultural, environmental and religious
patrimony for the Colombian people.
