Saltillo tile

Saltillo tile in the historic city center of Saltillo

Saltillo tile is a type of terracotta tile that originates in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.[1] It is one of the two most famous products of the city, the other being multicolored woven sarapes typical of the region. Saltillo-type tiles are now manufactured at many places in Mexico, and high-fire "Saltillo look" tiles, many from Italy, compete with the terracotta originals.[2]
