Documentary evidence indicates that a settlement may have existed in the area of Europa Flats during Gibraltar's Medieval Moorish Period (711-1462). It is very probable that the settlement, known as Corral de Fez, was established in the time of the Merinid Dynasty after the recapture of Gibraltar in 1333. It was at this point that the Emir Abu’l Hassan constructed defensive walls all the way to Europa Point, making previously unsecure areas open for settlement.
