History<\/strong>
\nAlar\u00f3 first time was mentioned in a 1241 document. With the tragic history inseparable the defense of the Castell d’Alar\u00f3 is connected. How far up the history of the fortress on top of the 825 meters high Puig d’Alar\u00f3 back, is obscure. The Arabs, who inhabited the island, held for years the attacks of the Moors was, as this in the 10th Century conquered the island. The castle has since been extended and modernized after it was attacked repeatedly over many years. 1349, after the final defeat of the Kingdom of Mallorca was also the Castell d’Alar\u00f3 and was still in ruins.
\nToday about 5018 inhabitants live again after the ’80 mid-1987’s through the end of lignite mining and the associated “rural exodus” more than half the population left Alar\u00f3. By connecting to the highway and the influx of foreigners increased since these back on.
