Montezuma Castle Framed By Trees, Montezuma Castle National Monument, Arizona

The five-story cliff dwelling known as Montezuma Castle is visible up a sheer limestone cliff in Montezuma Castle National Monument near Camp Verde, Arizona. Montezuma Castle and other cliff dwellings in the area were built and used by the Sinagua people between approximately 1100 and 1425 AD. Montezuma Castle, which contains 45-60 rooms, is one of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America, likely due to its placement 90 feet (27 meters) up the cliff and the protection from the elements provided by the rock overhang.
