This 12TH Century Sinagua Cliff Dwelling is the best preserved in all of North America.

It is one of Camp Verde's major attractions with 823,489 visitors touring it per year. The Montezuma Castle was proclaimed a National Monument in 1906 and was described as "of the greatest ethological & scientific interest".
