Spanish tile
Curved clay shingle
Spanish tile is a type of roofing tile with a distinctive S-shaped or barrel profile, traditionally made of terra cotta.
The curved shape allows tiles to interlock, channeling water efficiently while creating the undulating roof lines characteristic of Mediterranean and Spanish colonial architecture.
The house had a red Spanish tile roof typical of the Southwest.
