In the days of Al Andalus, Denia served as the capital of a taifa kingdom, ruling over part of the Valencian coast and Ibiza. The Slavic slaves, "saqaliba", managed to free themselves and run the taifa. The Arabic word "DANIAH" دانية means low or near.

History

The Taifa of Denia was among the more successful taifa kingdoms. It included the Balearic Islands and also parts of the Spanish mainland. Denia was ruled by Mujahid al-Siqlabi, which probably had a Sardinian origin. He had a relatively powerful navy, which he once even used to invade his native island of Sardinia. In the end, it was, however, conquered by another successful taifa, the Taifa of Zaragoza. Denia also had another period of independence as a taifa, though it only lasted three years, from 1224 to 1227.
