The Manitou Cliff Dwellings in Colorado Springs, Colorado, are a fascinating archaeological site that offers a glimpse into the ancient Anasazi culture. These preserved structures were originally built by the Anasazi people, who are believed to have lived in the area from approximately 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1300. The dwellings were moved and reconstructed in the early 20th century to protect them from vandalism and to make them accessible to the public. Visitors can explore the intricate stone buildings, which include rooms used for living, storage, and ceremonial purposes.
