Wupatki National Monument preserves ancient Puebloan ruins built between 1100 and 1250 CE in the high desert of northern Arizona. The monument contains over 2,700 archaeological sites including multi-story pueblos, ball courts, and other structures that demonstrate the sophisticated culture of ancestral Puebloan peoples. The red sandstone ruins are set against a dramatic landscape of painted desert and volcanic features. The monument is managed by the National Park Service.
