Alcudia Majorca

Alcudia's History

Alcudia is a well restored walled city on the site of a Roman settlement situated on the north east of the island. Originally the location was a Phoenician settlement and was built as a defence against pirates. The Greeks then took over followed by the Romans in around 2AD calling it Pollentia meaning "Power". The Romans didn't hold it for long as in 6AD it was sacked by the Vandals. The current name comes from the Moors who rebuilt the city and called it the town on the hill or "al-kudia". Finally in the 1229 the Spanish claimed the island following the conquest of Mallorca by Jaume I who swiftly installed christian rule.
