Alcúdia
Mallorca is the largest island in the Mediterranean Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain. Mallorca is an extremely popular holiday destination. The Palma de Mallorca Airport, one of the busiest in Spain, is used by about 30 million tourists per year.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the island was invaded by the Vandals in 425. The time of the Vandals ended, when Byzantine troops general took the island in 534. The first Muslim arrivals were in 707. These ended the Byzantine domination and established their own hegemony. Until 903, the island was part of the Umayyad Caliphate.
From Between 902 and 1229 the island was under Islamic control. James I of Aragon ( aka "Jaume el Conqueridor") conquered Mallorca in December 1229.
The Romans had founded a flourishing town just south of today's Alcúdia. This town got sacked and destroyed by the Vandals in 426.
When Moors and Arabs took over the power of the island, the settlement did not exist any more. So the Moors "refounded" it, but it did not gain much importance. At the time of the Aragonese conquest of the island in 1229 by King James I of Aragon, this was only an estate, which the king ceded to a vassal. A settlement formed around the estate, which was first mentioned in a protocol from 1282. It then became a parish and centre of administration in 1298 under King James II of Mallorca (Jaume II). That year the construction of the city wall started. It was completed in 1362 and - as you see - parts of which are still preserved.
