Montezuma Castle

Located in a limestone recess high above the flood plain of Beaver Creek in the Verde Valley is a well preserved cliff dwelling. It was never visited by Montezuma. It is a five-story, 20-room cliff dwelling that served as a "high-rise apartment building" for prehistoric Sinagua Indians about 600 years ago.
