Soledar, Salt mining city in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine
Located at an elevation of 102 meters, Soledar extends across 12 square kilometers in the eastern region of Ukraine.
The settlement started as Brіantsіvka in the 17th century by Don Cossacks before becoming Karlo-Libknekhtovsk in 1925 and finally Soledar in 1991.
The underground salt mines contained art galleries featuring sculptures carved from salt crystals, displaying regional mining heritage through artistic expression.
The city housed the Artemsil salt production facility, which supplied salt products throughout Ukraine and exported to numerous European countries.
The salt mines beneath Soledar contained over 5 billion tonnes of mineral deposits, creating a vast network of underground tunnels and chambers.
