from
Wikipedia
Many landmarks across the world, including the Great Pyramid and its associated complex in Giza, Egypt, are made of limestone.
So many buildings in Kingston, Ontario, Canada were constructed from it that it is nicknamed the ' Limestone City '.
On the island of Malta, a variety of limestone called Globigerina limestone was, for a long time, the only building material available, and is still very frequently used on all types of buildings and sculptures.
However, it is a very heavy material, making it impractical for tall buildings, and relatively expensive as a building material.
