The history of Alushta goes back to early times, as does the history of all of Crimea. During the ancient times was at this point a village, and in the 6th century was the command of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I ( 482 - 565 ), the fortress Aluston built. During the Tatar invasion the town was destroyed by the fortress 1239th

In the 1380s, the Genoese seized Alushtas, even though the Crimea belonged to the Mongol- Tatars of the Golden Horde at that time . The Genoese called the city Lusta . They rebuilt the fortress and strengthened it. Part of the wall and a tower are still preserved. Under Ottoman suzerainty, the city became part of Sudak Kadylyk within the Khanate of Crimea in 1475 . At first it remained a Christian settlement.

The Ottoman rule ended with the Russo-Turkish War from 1768 to 1774. From 1802 Alushta has the official status of a city. Since 1838 the district was part of the Yalta County. Until the deportation of the Crimean Tatars by Stalin on May 18, 1944 , Alushta was one of three places - along with Karasubazar (now Bilohirsk ) and Bakhchysarai - with a Crimean Tatar majority.

In the Russian Empire, Alushta was part of the Taurian Governorate , which existed until October 1921. After the October Revolution , it was part of the ASSR of Crimea within the Russian SFSR .

By resolution of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav , Alushta and the Crimean Oblast were annexed to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic on April 26, 1954 . From 1991 to 2014 Alushta was part of independent Ukraine.

Since the internationally unrecognized annexation of the Crimean peninsula to Russia in March 2014, Alushta has de facto belonged to the federal subject of Southern Russia of the Russian Federation. De jure, according to the administrative-territorial division of Ukraine, Alushta is part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea , which is one of the territories occupied by Russia.
