Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, USA
This Native American dwelling in northern New Mexico has been continually inhabited for more than 1,000 years. Once a major trading center, the pueblo comprises adobe structures up to five stories high, which is similar to the way it appeared when European explorers first arrived, in the 16th century. It is now home to about 150 people.
