Founded by Greek settlers from Syracuse in the 4th century BC, the city has a rich historical heritage reflected in its architecture and cultural sites. The city's name derives from the Greek word "Ankon," meaning elbow, referring to the promontory that protects its harbor.

The city has maintained its importance as a cultural center throughout history, hosting various museums that document its maritime heritage, archaeological findings, and artistic traditions.
