Clay shingles overhead
Red roof tiles are ceramic or clay tiles in reddish-brown or terracotta hues, traditionally used as roofing material.
The distinctive color comes from iron-rich clay fired at high temperatures.
Common in Mediterranean, Spanish, and Southwestern architecture, they evoke warmth and old-world character: The village was a jumble of whitewashed walls and red roof tiles.
