THE OLDEST AND STRONGEST MARBLE IN HISTORY
Ottoman White (Mocha Cream), which is used in many historical structures, is the oldest and most robust marble that has survived from past to present with thousands of years of history.
Throughout history, it has been used as the primary building material in many historical structures, built by many civilizations such as the Ottoman Empire, the Seljuk State, the Urartian Kingdom, the Persian Empire, the Anatolian Principalities, and the Eastern Roman Empire. These structures are still surviving even after thousands of years and are being visited by tourists from various parts of the world today.
Some Of These Historical Structures:
- Harput Castle (8th century B.C.)
- Sarahatun Mosque (built-in 1465)
Ottoman White (Mocha Cream) has been used by our company since the 1940s, and today it is produced only by Saheser Marble International and is exported to 59 different countries.
