Its ancient name is Prokonnesos, and its modern name is Marmara… Marmara Island is the place which gave its name to the island, the sea and the marble around the world. It is a unique place that has been presenting marble to the world like a factory without a chimney for 2700 years with its rich marble reserves and shares the richness of its mountains to humanity without sparing. These marbles were used in the construction of the Temple of Zeus during the reign of Attalos, the King of Pergamon in the ancient period. Approximately 700 years later, we can see the unique marbles of Marmara Island on the columns of the Hagia Sophia Church, which was built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. Ottoman sultans also preferred this stone in their structures such as palaces, mosques and baths. When you go to the Süleymaniye Mosque, which was built in the name of Suleiman the Magnificent today, the Marmara Island marbles greet you at the main gate.

The stone took its name from the ancient name of the island… That is Prokonnesos Blue! That is Prokonnesos Blue!
