Pope John Paul the Second monument |
The stone which is going to be used to build the monument at Pilsudski Square has been delivered to the stone company in Ostroleka. The stone comes from Marcelino Martinez company, a Spanish granite producer. This company owns around 60 quarries in Cadalso de los Vidros. In Cadalso we can find the only deposit of Bianco Cristal stone. This stone is going to be used to build the cross. It is the lightest granite that can be mined in Europe. Gris Cadalso stone, a one tone darker stone, is going to be used to make a floor. Apart from the designer, the representatives of the customer - SZRM, and of the contractor - Mostostal Warszawa came to see the imported stone.

One of the advantages of Lower Silesia is the fact that you have the largest railway network in Poland. These factors will have a great influence upon making decision in order to solve the problem of transporting aggregates out of workings - says Cezary Grabarczyk asked about the purpose of his visit.
