Montezuma Castle is one of a number of well preserved ancient dwellings in Arizona. An imposing 5-story structure built into a recess in a white stone cliff about 70 feet from the ground. When first discovered it was thought that the ruins were Aztec in origin, hence the name bestowed on it,but they are now known to belong to the Sinagua Indian Peoples who farmed the surrounding land between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, before abandoning the area.
