Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling-a structure built within caves and under outcroppings in cliffs-in North America, located in what is now Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, USA. The Ancient Pueblo structure is located in Mesa Verde National Park, in the southwest corner of the U.S. state of Colorado, home to the Ancestral Puebloans people.
There are about 150 rooms in the 288 ft (88 m) long structure, although only 25 to 30 of those were used as living space by Ancient Pueblo Peoples. it is estimated that the population of Cliff Palace was roughly 100–150 people.
