With roots going back to the Bronze Age and beyond the first urban settlement in the Alicante can be traced back to the 4th century BC when the Iberian town of Tossal de Manises was founded in what is now known as Albufereta. When Spain became part of the Roman Empire this small town was re-named Lucentum and as it prospered and developed under the Romans, the emperor Augustus granted the town "Municipum" status. After the retreat of Rome and the decline of Christian power came the invasion of the Moors and Islam.

The Alicante of today has, to a large extent origins dating from Moorish Spain. The Moors built many Mosques and laid out the structure plan of the town. Many Arabic remains have been found in the areas around the old Mosques, which were subsequently converted to Christian churches after the town was won back to Christendom by Alfonso X el Sabio in 1247. From that time onwards Alicante was either part of the Crown of Castilla or the Crown of Aragon until eventually King Ferdinand the Catholic granted Alicante the designation of "City" in 1490. This long, exciting and vibrant history with the consequent cross-pollination of cultures has all contributed to the Alicante of today.
