Mangalore tiles
Mangalore tiles (also Mangalorean tiles) are a type of tile native〔 to the city of Mangalore, India. The tiles were first introduced to India in 1860 by a German missionary. Since that time, the industry has flourished in India with these red tiles, prepared from hard laterite clay, in great demand throughout the country. They are exported to Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and the Far East and even as far as East Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mangalore—Tiles )〕 These were the only tiles recommendeded for government buildings in India under the British Raj.〔〔
These tiles still define Mangalore's skyline and characterize its urban setting.〔 They are a popular form of roofing and are preferred over concrete due to their good quality.〔
== Etymology ==
These tiles are native to Mangalore, a city in the former South Canara district on the western coast of India. Hence they were named ''Mangalore tiles'' by the tile factory manufacturers.〔
