| Summary: | Traditional building stones may be defined as the rocks continuously and commonly used throughout the history of a given town or region. Sille stone bears volcanic and andesitic features, which are unique to the Sille region (Konya) and its surroundings. Sille was a historical and cultural settlement in the Neolithic Age. The high silica content of Sille stone is an important building material due to its easy workability and durability properties. The Sille stone, which is generally used as a floor and wall covering, has many artifacts ranging from the Ottoman and Seljuk periods to the present day. |
