tiled roof

Ceramic overhead shelter

A tiled roof is a roof covered with overlapping tiles—typically clay, concrete, or slate pieces arranged in rows.

The style is characteristic of Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, and traditional European architecture.

Tiled roofs are durable and weather-resistant but heavier than shingled alternatives: The village was a sea of red tiled roofs.
