travertine

The stone that emerges from water

Travertine is a type of calcareous sedimentary rock that is formed by the deposition of calciferous fresh water found in waterfalls and on the bottom of basins. Its name derives from Lapis Tiburtinus “Tibur’s stone”, the ancient name for Tivoli, in Latium (Italy). It was used by the ancient Romans as a construction stone with which they have built famous monuments such as the Colosseum. Travertine has a waterproof, granular structure and is highly resistant to wear, atmospheric conditions, and chemical damage. Therefore, it is a popular building material that adds aesthetic value both indoors and outdoors and is suitable for any architectural style, be it classic or contemporary.
