Yes, we can say that it will definitely be a good choice. Terracotta is very hardy and has been known to last hundreds of years if it's treated right. Terracotta is also waterproof and fire resistant, offering good protection from the elements. The durability of a complete, tiled terracotta roof also comes down to how well it's constructed and maintained.
