Alicún de Ortega is a village located at the province of Granada, Spain.
In the Islamic era, it was known as ‘Hisn-Laqoon’ - ‘the fort of Luqun’ (Alicun), an strategic outpost of the sub-region of Guadix in the Emirate of Granada. In the year 836 Hijri of the Islamic calendar or 1433 Gregorian, it was captured by the forces of Castile, a regretful loss as recorded in the poetry of the 15th century scholar Abdul Kareem Al-Basti (of Baza). According to the 2005 census (INE), it has a population of 563 inhabitants.
