The territory now occupied by Zipaquirá, a city where Gabriel García Márquez went to school, was an important centre of trade in salt - vital to preserve food - before the arrival of the conquistadors. This mineral, the essence of the town (founded on July 18, 1600), is abundant in the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, a religious sanctuary built in an underground salt mine.
