The Wonders & The Materials — True Stories and Tile Matches

Taj Mahal (India)

The Taj Mahal stands as one of the world’s most renowned monuments, symbolizing timeless beauty and love. It was built using pure white Makrana marble, famous for its luminescence and fine grain. The structure also incorporates red sandstone, black stone (notably for calligraphy), semi-precious stone inlays (like jasper, jade, turquoise for detailed mosaics), and records show some early local roof tiles were used in its expansive complex. Each of these materials contributes to the Taj Mahal’s distinctive aesthetic: bright, brilliant white surfaces with delicate veins and breathtaking decorative patterns.

What was used

Makrana marble (main structure)

Red sandstone (external accents and mosque)

Black stone (calligraphy outlines)

Semi-precious inlay stones (pietra dura artwork)

Some local tiles (mainly in service buildings, not on the marble areas)

How It Looks

Rich red and black contrasts.

Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic structures in history, stretching across thousands of kilometers and embodying human endurance and engineering. Constructed over several dynasties, its materials reflected the terrain and resources available in each region. Builders utilized stones, bricks, packed earth, tiles in some sections, wood, and lime mortar to create a massive, defensive barrier that could withstand weather and time.

What Was Used

Stones (quarried and field stones for foundations and mountain passes)

Bricks (especially in later Ming Dynasty sections)

Earth (rammed earth in early and western segments)

Roof tiles and floor tiles (used mainly in watchtowers, fortresses, and gateways)

Petra, often called the “Rose City,” is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Jordan and one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological wonders. Carved directly into the cliffs, its ancient facades and hidden tombs showcase the talent of the Nabataean civilization. Petra is famous for the use of rose-red Nubian sandstone, which gives the city its iconic warm, streaky color palette. In some grander monuments, historical records mention the use of imported Mediterranean marble for ornamental purposes.

What Was Used

Rose-red Nubian sandstone (main building material, for facades, tombs, and temples)

Mediterranean marble (used sparingly (in small quantities) for intricate decorative touches in significant sites)

Machu Picchu (Peru)

Machu Picchu is the legendary Incan city perched high in the Andes of Peru, celebrated for its awe-inspiring views and masterful stone architecture. Built in the 15th century, Machu Picchu relied on the Incas’ advanced stone-cutting skills and the use of durable, locally sourced materials. The main construction involved granite, limestone, andesite, and basalt, meticulously shaped and fitted without mortar. Historical evidence also indicates some use of mud tiles for non-monumental or service structures, though these are less prominent today.

What Was Used

Granite (the dominant building stone, for walls and terraces)

Limestone, andesite, and basalt (used depending on locality and availability)

Raw, precisely cut stones (masterful fitting, no mortar)

Some mud tiles (utilitarian buildings, not part of the visible monuments)

How It Looks

Rough-textured, gray mineral surfaces typical of granite and andesite.

Visibly precise stone blocks—seamless, tight joints.

Distinctive natural, muted gray palette: sometimes cold and steely, sometimes weathered and mossy depending on conditions.

Chichen Itza (Mexico)

Chichen Itza is one of the most important ancient Mayan cities, renowned for its step pyramid, El Castillo, and an array of temples and ball courts. The structures at Chichen Itza were constructed almost entirely from local Mayan limestone, a material that was readily available in the Yucatán Peninsula. This limestone gives Chichen Itza its distinctively creamy, sun-blanched appearance, contributing to the site’s serene, enduring look.

What Was Used

Local Mayan limestone (main building and decorative material for temples, platforms, columns, and pyramids)

How It Looks

Soft, creamy colors—light beige to off-white tones that glow under the sun.

Subtle natural texture with gentle veining and a porous, stone-carved finish.

Christ the Redeemer (Brazil)

Christ the Redeemer is the world-famous statue towering over Rio de Janeiro, celebrated for its message of peace and its dramatic presence above the city. Finished in 1931, the statue was engineered with a concrete core for strength and resilience. What makes Christ the Redeemer especially unique is its exterior: it’s covered with millions of small soapstone mosaic triangles, individually cut and hand-applied. This soapstone finish not only provides a soft, silvery-grey appearance, but also protects the structure from Brazil’s weather, thanks to soapstone’s natural water resistance and gentle luster.

What Was Used

Concrete core (internal structural support for height and shape)

Soapstone mosaic tiles (thin, triangular pieces, covering all outer surfaces)

How It Looks

Soft grey tones with a very subtle, natural sheen—distinctly different from marble or granite.

Smooth, gently textured mosaic pattern up close, but unified and elegant from a distance.

A modern, serene effect with hints of natural stone’s warmth and texture.

Colosseum (Italy)

The Colosseum in Rome is one of the world’s greatest architectural and engineering achievements, famous for its vast amphitheater and iconic arches. Built nearly 2,000 years ago, the Colosseum used a combination of strong and elegant materials: the outside featured travertine limestone—a richly textured, creamy stone; marble was used for the grandest details and seating; and robust, local resources like tuff (a volcanic stone), bricks, and roof tiles were used throughout the internal structure.

What Was Used

Travertine limestone (exterior arches and main structure)

Marble (statues, seats, and decorative elements)

Tuff (volcanic stone for core walls and foundations)

Bricks and volcanic stone (for structural support)

Roof tiles (mainly for covered areas, now lost)

How It Looks

Warm, creamy tones of ancient travertine, showing signs of weathering and history.

Smooth marble accents that reflect both sophistication and Roman luxury.
