Description
The main structure at Montezuma Castle. The "Castle" was built by the Sinaqua people, and had no relation to Montezuma or the Aztec. Initially built around 700 AD this site at one time supported a population of around 50 people, who extensively farmed in the flats between the cliff wall and river. The Sinagua people abandoned this site in the early 1400s. First found by Anglo Americans in the mid 1800s it became a part of the National Park Service in 1906.
