Alcover becomes a town in 1166 after receiving its charter
In the year 1059, the name Santa Maria of Alcover is documented for the first time. However, the historical birth of Alcover as a municipality and as a town dates to April 9, 1166, when King Alfonso II of Aragon granted the town the “Carta d‘Acapte” (town charter).
