The name of these Stones goes back to the source of their identification and introduction; to ancient Rome! The use of Travertine in the second decade of BC by the Romans established this Stone as an excellent building material. After the widespread use of travertine in ancient Rome, the medieval cultural and economic crisis led to the general non-use of decorative stones. It was later in the Art-Gothic period that travertine was revisited. Between the Renaissance and the Neoclassical era, travertine, like other stone materials, once again came to the attention of architectural designers.
Roman Renaissance architects used travertine extensively in their designs during the Renaissance. According to the architects, travertine is an excellent material for the facade of buildings because it can be easily inscribed and cornered. The very pleasant appearance and technical properties of travertine make it an ideal decorative material for a variety of applications. Travertine, as one of the structural materials or similar materials for beautifying facades, floors and interior decorations, has a lot of flexibility and ductility.
