Wieliczka was and is the largest salt processing center in the Europe. Discovery and launch of the exploitation of rock salt deposits took place in the middle of the 13th century. The oldest mining (exploratory) shaft is also from this period.
Over the course of seven centuries, 26 open-top shafts and 180 fore-shafts connecting individual levels were drilled. Mining exploitation of the deposit was commenced on level I (57 m under ground level), finally reaching level IX (327 m in depth). 2,350 chambers were drilled and over 240 km of drifts.
