Discover the Fascinating History of Alcudia, Mallorca
Alcudia, one of the most beautiful areas in Mallorca, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The Romans made their mark in 123 BC, establishing Pollentia as the island’s second major town. After Rome fell, Vandals and pirates invaded, leading to the abandonment of Pollentia. In the 10th century, the Moors named the area Alcudia (“on the hill”).
In the 13th century, King James I of Aragon reconquered Mallorca, and the town was founded. Throughout history, pirate attacks led to population drops, but the 1779 harbor construction revived Alcudia’s economy. Tourism began in the 1920s, and by the 1980s, Port d’Alcudia became a bustling resort. Today, Alcudia blends ancient history with vibrant modern attractions.
Explore the Old Town and Roman Pollentia
Visitors can walk along Alcudia’s Old Town, admire the 14th-century walls, and explore the remains of Roman Pollentia. Enjoy the local market on Tuesdays and Sundays, offering fresh produce and crafts. In Port d’Alcudia, enjoy seafood and local dishes at waterfront restaurants. To experience the natural beauty, visit the nearby S’Albufera Natural Park.
