Montezuma Castle was the 3rd National Monument created in the US. The 20 room high rise apartments were occupied by the Sinagua people between approximately AD 1100 and 1425. The Sinagua people were a culture closely related to the Hohokam and other indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States. | Jeremy Johnson Photography

Tucked into the cliffs of Arizona is a 20-room “castle” built nearly 1,000 years ago by the Sinagua people. 🏛️✨ Montezuma Castle isn’t just a quick roadside stop, it’s one of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America. Easy to visit, rich in history, and an incredible glimpse into the past. Would you add this to your Arizona trip? #MontezumaCastle #ArizonaTravel #NationalMonument #AncientHistory #HiddenGems | Where The Road Wanders

Good news! Montezuma Castle National Monument is open again after the government shutdown. A few weeks ago, so many of you commented that you wanted to visit but it was closed — happy to say it’s officially reopened and welcoming visitors again! #arizona #NationalMonument #sedona #explorearizona | Selma_explores
