Review & FAQ:

The Montezuma Castle National Monument offers visitors a chance to view one of North America’s best-preserved cliff dwellings, offering a look into the windows of the land’s past.

This 20-room dwelling was built into a tall limestone cliff and shares a story of survival, ingenuity, and prosperity within the harsh landscape of the desert. Montezuma Castle was made one of the first National Monuments of the United States in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt.

The monument is a legacy of the area’s Sinagua people. Even after their departure 600 years ago, the Sinagua still inspire those who come to see the cliff dwellings.
