Alicante has a long history reaching back to prehistoric times, with archaeological remains having been found here from the third millennium before Christ. This is the site of an ancient Iberian urban settlement dating from the late 5th century BC. The city later became a Roman municipium, Lucentum, at the behest of the Emperor Augustus at the beginning of the Christian era. It has been a Spanish city for over 500 years, with a charter granted to it by Ferdinand the Catholic in 1490. Today it is a first-rate tourist area thanks to its splendid beaches and its excellent climate, offering charm, tradition, monuments and tourist attractions, and an exciting festivities and cultural calendar throughout the entire year.
