今天是联合国教科文组织纪念物和遗址国际日,我们将参观梅萨维德国家公园令人印象深刻的方形塔楼。方塔住宅是普埃布劳恩斯家族在现在的美国西南部建造的众多悬崖住宅之一。它高27英尺,是公园里最高的建筑。方形塔楼房屋也因其kiva而著名,kiva是一个圆形的下沉式房间,用于举行仪式。与该地区发现的大多数古代基瓦不同,广场塔楼的基瓦房屋有一个完整的原始粘土屋顶,由木梁支撑。

It’s UNESCO International Day for Monuments and Sites and we are visiting the impressive Square Tower House in Mesa Verde National Park. Square Tower House is one of many cliff dwellings constructed by the Ancestral Puebloans in what is now the American Southwest. At 27 feet, it's the tallest structure in the park. Square Tower House is also notable for its kiva, a round, sunken room used for ceremonies. Unlike most of the ancient kivas found in the region, the kiva at Square Tower House has an intact original clay roof supported by wooden beams.
