Taos Pueblo is an ancient Tiwa-speaking village of the Taos people, about 1.6 km north of the modern town of Taos, New Mexico, and about 4 km from its centre in a straight line. It is a federally recognised Native American government and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States and the only US World Heritage Site where people live. The Taos people settled in the valley around 900, and the oldest building still standing dates from around 1000. Its multi-storey adobe houses are stacked in layers, with blue-painted doors and windows, wooden ladders and domed clay ovens, a clear stream runs in front, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise behind. The Pueblo is a living community, so respect residents' privacy, do not enter homes or closed areas, follow the photography rules and ask before photographing anyone. It may close to visitors during ceremonies, so check opening times before you go.
