red tile roofs

Red tile roofs are roofs covered with curved clay tiles, typically in terracotta orange or russet tones.

The style is strongly associated with Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, and Mission architecture, evoking Southern California, the American Southwest, or coastal Europe: The neighborhood's red tile roofs gleamed in the afternoon sun.

The tiles are durable and weather-resistant, prized for both aesthetics and function in hot, dry climates.
