Montezuma's Castle





Montezuma's Castle is located outside Camp Verde, AZ and one of the last remaining cliff dwellings of the Sinagua people. The dwelling was built around 1400 AD. when Europeans found the dwelling in the late 1800's they named in Montezuma's Castle after the Aztec emperor, believing this dwelling had been occupied by Aztecs.


It is unknown why the Sinagua people left their home as it was abandon 1425 AD.
