Cliff Palace, Colorado, USA

 Sitting under a perfectly formed natural shelter of sandstone rock, the 150-room Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado was once home to a population of around 100. The settlement was built by Ancestral Puebloans in the 13th century and was constructed from sandstone, mortar and wooden beams, as well as small pieces of stone embedded in the mortar to strengthen it. Today, it’s the largest and one of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America.
