Aztec Ruins National Monument

History
18
Despite its name, this magnificent site reflects eleventh century influence from nearby Chaco Canyon rather than from the later Aztecs of Mexico. The striking masonry pueblos illustrate the classic Chaco architectural style with later Mesa Verde additions. Aztec was finally abandoned in 1300.
