About Acoma Pueblo (Sky City)

Acoma Pueblo, known as Sky City, sits on top of a sandstone mesa about 365 feet high, and the Acoma date the village to the 11th century. Visits start at the Sky City Cultural Center and Haak'u Museum at the base, where guided tours leave every hour. On top you see about 300 adobe buildings and the San Esteban del Rey Mission, built between 1629 and 1641. The pueblo closes for cultural events, and cameras are not allowed on feast days.
