Alcalá de Henares
World Heritage City and the city of Cervantes
The foundation of Alcalá de Henares dates back to the Celtiberian city of Ikesancom Kombouto, on which Complutum was built after the Roman conquest, hence the Complutense name given to its inhabitants. With the Muslim invasion, the old city was gradually depopulated to become a citadel known as “Al Qal’at Wadi-l-hiyara”, from which the current name of Alcalá de Henares comes from. In 1499 Cardinal Cisneros founded the Complutense University, becoming one of the main centers of European Renaissance culture and the first university city in the world.
The Historic Site of the city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998. We invite you to get to know and enjoy the city of Arts and Letters.
Don Quixote de la Mancha has been unanimously defined as the masterpiece of universal literature and one of the greatest creations of human ingenuity. It has been the most published and translated book in history, only surpassed by the Bible. It’s author, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, born in this city on September 29, 1547, is considered the greatest figure in Spanish literature. He has been given the nickname of “Prince of Ingenuity”.
Since 1976, the Miguel de Cervantes Literature Prize in Spanish Language has been awarded in Alcalá de Henares.
