About Tuzigoot

Tuzigoot National Monument preserves a large, well-preserved Sinagua pueblo ruin dating from 1125 to 1400 CE in Arizona's Verde Valley. The monument features a hilltop pueblo with 110 rooms that housed several hundred people at its peak, showcasing the sophisticated architecture and community planning of the Sinagua culture. Managed by the National Park Service, it offers visitors insight into the agricultural and trading practices of these ancient peoples who thrived in the high desert environment. The site provides panoramic views of the Verde Valley and demonstrates the complex social organization of pre-Columbian Southwest cultures.
