Among the earliest Spanish visitors to Mexico were los cantareros, expert stone carvers who had built the magnificent cathedrals and castles of Spain. As they traveled through Mexico, these craftsmen discovered a unique material, a type of stone that reflected the rare minerals and varied environments of the New World. The carvers found this stone a perfect material for the grand buildings and luxurious residences they were erecting across the country. With so many different colors and textures, the stone could reflect the individual taste and style of the homeowner. Soon, the stone came to take the name of los cantareros, the men who carved it: Cantera stone. Your architectural elements from Cantera Creations reflect centuries of fine American craftsmanship and a material as special as the New World itself.
