stucco

Textured exterior finish

Stucco is a plaster material applied to exterior walls, where it dries to a hard, textite finish.

Traditional stucco is cement-based; it's common on Mediterranean and Spanish colonial architecture.

The surface is often textured—smooth, rough, or patterned.

As a verb, to stucco is to coat with this material: They stuccoed the house last summer.
