The stone of many faces and colors, also known as Slovak marble. It decorates the facades and interiors of many important buildings in our cities and has been favored by architects such as Emil Belluš, M.M. Harminc, Juraj Tvarožek, František Krupka, and others, who preferred quality materials over unnecessary decorations in the era of modern architecture. Travertine was created from water and air, and it is still alive… But behind the smooth travertine facades of buildings, there are sometimes rough fates of their architects or residents, which you will learn more about.
