tiled roofs
Clay-topped shelters overhead
Tiled roofs are roofs covered with overlapping tiles—typically clay, concrete, or slate pieces arranged in rows.
The style is common in Mediterranean, Spanish colonial, and traditional European architecture: The village was a sea of red tiled roofs.
Tiled roofs are durable and weather-resistant but heavier than shingled alternatives.
