Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Arizona (511 words)
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument contains an imposing 4-storey building dating from the late Hohokam period, probably 14th century and contemporary with other preserved ruins in Arizona such as the Tonto and Montezuma Castle Monuments.
A door at the back of the center leads to the Casa Grande itself, at the middle of a rectangular area that was once a walled compound containing several other smaller buildings.
It is believed that the Casa Grande was a kind of astronomical observatory as the four walls face the points of the compass, and some of the windows are aligned to the positions of the sun and moon at specific times.
