History
Pueblo is a term used to describe modern (and ancient) communities of Native Americans in the Southwestern United States of America. The first Spanish explorers of the Southwest used this term to describe the communities housed in apartment-like structures built of stone, adobe mud, and other local material. These structures were usually multi-storeyed buildings surrounding an open plaza.
Sometimes they formed unique five floors buildings with several hundred rooms. Up to a thousand people could live in a single Pueblo. Ceilings and floors were reinforced with wooden beams, reed and clay. Walls, mostly internal, were polished with clay colour paintings. For defensive reasons, pueblo had no entrances on the ground floor. Doors, equipped with small loopholes, were located on upper floors where the residents had ladders, which in case of emergency could be pulled up.
