Montezuma Castle National Monument

The Sinagua used space efficiently - here a storage room sits in a short cliff space below the main Castle.
Established December 8, 1906, Montezuma Castle is the third National Monument dedicated to preserving Native American culture. This 20 room high-rise apartment, nestled into a towering limestone cliff, tells a story of ingenuity, survival and ultimately, prosperity in an unforgiving desert landscape.
