Mallorca Car Hire prices

The Romans annexed Mallorca to the Roman Republic in the year 123 BC and founded the cities of Pollèntia and Palma. Economic prosperity stimulated the growth of these cities with stately houses, a theatre, shops and other public and private buildings.

T he Arabs conquered Mallorca in 902 and annexed it to the Cordova Emirate. In 1015 became part of the taifa or petty state of Dénia. During Muslim rule (902-1229) Mallorca Alcudia was a farmstead situated between the bay of Pollença and the bay of Alcúdia. The name "Alcúdia" (el Pujol Hill ) and a few other place names are all that is left of Arab rule.

In 1229 Mallorca was annexed to the Crown of Aragon, King James I divided the island into eight parts; four stayed in his own hands and the remaining four went to nobles who had fought by his side in the conquest of the island. Most of Pollença and Alcúdia was split between the Templars, Sir Guillem de Montcada and Sir Vicent de Portugal. At a later date, James II ordered the construction of Mallorca Alcudia on the site of an old Muslim farmstead and in 1298 elevated it to the status of the municipality.
