| Stone has been accompanying man since the beginning of his existence. In this course, students will be able to familiarize themselves with the various stages of human civilization development in terms of the use of this non-ore.

In later times the stone is used for various other purposes, among others it is also used in architecture. The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the use of stone in construction and sculpture in the world, from ancient times to the present day. Many of these building or sculpture monuments are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The course will complement historical geological knowledge of students with historical and artistic information. |
