Montezuma Castle is neither a castle nor was ever occupied by the famous Aztec emperor, but is a cliff dwelling in central Arizona that was built by Sinagua Indians. It is now the main feature of its namesake National Monument. The dwelling occupies a recess within the cliff. The modern ladders, I would think, are used by park workers.
This shot is from a slightly different angle.
This pic shows more of the right side of the dwelling, and just a bit of the sky above the cliff.
This small cave is in a lower part of the cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff is another structure, known as Castle A.
