14The Montezuma Castle National Monument
The Montezuma Castle National Monument is situated off the main road between Flagstaff and Phoenix, south of Sedona. This large cliff dwelling was erected and utilized by the native Sinagua people in the 1100s. It is a five-story structure with 20 rooms.
Some travel writers say that the impressive building looks less like a castle than it does an apartment building. At present, tourists are not permitted inside. You can get a good look at it though from the short, paved walk that surrounds it. While you’re in the area, visit Montezuma Well as well. It’s less than 10 miles away.
