These 800 year old pueblos are thought to be the former home of the prehistoric Anasazi and Sinagua people.

Nalakihu is a Hopi word meaning "house standing outside the village." This structure had 10 rooms and the ground floor and three or four more rooms formed an upper story.

The Citadel pueblo is built on a small volcanic remnant. The wall of the Citadel were built to follow the outline of the volcanic butte. The structure may have been two stories high.

While visiting the pueblos, stay off walls, do not remove or disturb any features, and stay on established trails. These sites are vital to our studies of the past and are protected by Federal law. Please join us in our efforts to protect these prehistoric sites as well as the plant and animal life in the park.
