Casa Grande Ruins National Monument

Archaeological site, southern Arizona, U.S. Designated a national monument in 1918, it occupies 448 acres (181 hectares). The site's pre-Columbian ruins are dominated by the Casa Grande (“Big House”), a multistory building built by Salado Indians in the 14th century; it is the only surviving building of its type. Nearby are partially excavated village sites established much earlier by Hohokam Indians (see Hohokam culture).
