Monumental Works in Laas / Lasa Marble
The snow-white Laas / Lasa Marble from the Vinschgau Valley (Val Venosta) region is regarded as one of Europe's most renowned natural stones. For centuries, it has been used for distinguished architecture, important monuments, sacred works of art, and prestigious construction projects. Its exceptional purity, weather resistance, and timeless elegance have earned it an outstanding reputation far beyond the borders of South Tyrol.
Only a relatively small proportion of the total marble production has been used throughout history for monumental works of art and architecture. The majority was employed for the manufacture of gravestones, staircases, flooring, façades, furniture, and high-quality interior fittings. All the more remarkable, therefore, are the buildings and monuments created from Laas / Lasa Marble, many of which are today regarded as some of the material's most significant showcase projects.
From prestigious public buildings and international memorials to impressive monuments and sculptures, Laas / Lasa Marble can be found in numerous countries around the world. The following gallery presents a selection of works that vividly demonstrate the exceptional quality and global significance of this unique natural stone.
-
Johann Strauss (the Son)
Vienna (Austria) -
