The origin of kites is uncertain. It is known that the first ones emerged in China, approximately 2,500 years ago. From there they spread to other parts of Asia, before reaching Europe, through routes as diverse as the Mongol invasions, maritime trade routes through the Cape of Good Hope, and cultural exchanges with the Arab world.

Dating back to the later stages of the Roman Empire – at the end of the 4th century and beginning of the 5th century AD – there are references to dracos or cataviientos , which were banners in the shape of a cylindrical bag, with a wide mouth and the appearance of a dragon, which were placed at the top of a mast.
