The habitation of Alalia was dating back to the Neolithic period. Alalie was fonded by the Phoenicians in the VIth century BC.  Located on major Mediterranean trade routes Alaie was subsequently occupied by the Greeks, Etruscans and the Romans. The city was burned in 410 AD and sacked by the Vandals in 465 AD.
