RE: A town that does not exist (visual walk 31 photos)

It is believed that the so-called Inkerman limestone was used. But the local limestone in Crimea is also of a denser rock - the Krymbalsky stone.
But all these are limestones of local origin.
Marble, of course, was transported by sea))

Считается, что использовался так называемый инкерманский известняк. Но местный известняк в Крыму бывает и более плотной породы - крымбальский камень.
Но всё это известняки местного происхождения
Мрамор, конечно, везли морем))

Yes, it's always a practical decision and solution to use local stones. I find those stone names quite interesting.

I don’t remember exactly the name, but one of the limestones is identical to the limestones that were used for the construction of buildings and structures in ancient Egypt.
