Pre Historic Alicante
The land of Alicante has been inhabited for over 7000 years with the first tribes travelling from Central Europe around 5000 to 3000 B.C. Some of the tribes in Alicante settled around the slopes of Mount Benacantil on which today stands the castle of Santa Bárbara. The highlight of this mountain was that it was close to the sea but yet offered security from invaders due to its height. According to some historians, the Iberians (native Spanish) secured the hilltop by fortifying it. Some group of people settled in the Benalúa area, where later on the Roman city of Lucentum was built which the predecessor is of the city of Alicante. Some settlements have also been found in Albufereta and in the Serra Grossa.

Alicante under invansion
The Moors (Arabs) who ruled southern Spain until 1100 AD built the present-day city, under the protection of the castle. In 1246 Alfonso the 10th captured the city for the Castilian crown. Later on in 1308, Jaime II incorporated Alicante in the Kingdom of Valencia. Alicante was granted its city charter under the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic in 1490. One hundred years later it became a natural port of Castile, thus initiating the development of its sea trade. Due to peace and prosperity, Alicante flourished and attained the rank of Spain's third-largest trading port, exporting wine, oranges & olive oil.

Like other cities and ports, invaders have also attacked Alicante, and all the invasions have been made through the sea. During the reign of Charles II in 1691, the French Armada attacked Alicante for seven consecutive days. Thus the war came to be known as the War of Spanish Succession (1701-14). During the war, Alicante sided with the Bourbons and therefore suffered an attack from the English troops, who destroyed the castle of Santa Bárbara. It became the provisional capital of the Kingdom of Valencia during the War of Independence (1804-14), which is also known as the Peninsular War. Major General Suchet occupied Valencia at that time.



Modern history
The Spanish revolution started around the first quarter of the 20th century. King Alfonso XIII had to give up the throne due to failed military dictatorship and civil unrest. In 1931, the Spanish Republic was declared. A left-wing coalition of communists and socialists won the subsequent elections by a narrow margin but subsequently lost the next one in 1933 to the conservatives and liberals. They could not accept their defeat quickly leading to a revolution led by the Republican Army. Communism in Spain came into existence due to an uprising by General Sanjurjo and General Mola in 1936, who were supported by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. After the accidental death of both Mola and Sanjurjo and three years of war, Franco's armies were victorious. Alicante was one of the last cities loyal to the legitimate government.




Recent history
Today, the province of Alicante is the second largest region in the Valencian Autonomous Community. The port itself has been re-established since the industrial decline in the 1980s and has, therefore, become a more popular entry point into Alicante.

The city’s Airport, located at El Altet, is one of the most active airports in Spain, generating as much demand as the big city airports such as Barcelona and Madrid. The airport is in expansion and offers flights to all major cities in Spain, as well as many European cities.
