The Origin of Travertine

The Origin of Travertine

Travertine originates from the city of Tivoli, Italy, one of the first regions to invest in the extraction of this marble. The name “Travertine” comes from its Latin denomination, “lapis tiburtino,” meaning “Stone of Tibur,” the ancient name of the city of Tivoli.

In nature, this limestone forms in soils where there is running water over rocks, specifically in places with waterfalls and cascades.

In Brazil, the state with the highest production of this marble is Bahia, as the region presents a great climatic and geological diversity.

The Bege Bahia Marble, named after its origin in Bahia, was once also called Marta Rocha Marble and is now known by many as National Travertine. Additionally, it is dubbed outside Brazil as Brazilian Travertine.

Timeless, classic, and of rare beauty, our National Travertine or Bege Bahia is a highlight in civil construction and has its market already widely consolidated.

The use of Bege Bahia Marble in a project can be very extensive. This rock can be used as flooring, wall cladding, tabletops, countertops, and according to the creativity of the architect.
