In briefanswer capsule

Calacirya is the light-cleft of the Pelóri that holds the green hill of Túna. Once the Vanyar abandoned Tirion for Manwë's mountain and Valinor's plains, the Noldor kept their homes in that pass and in the adjoining hills where the western ocean remained audible. Thoughts of starlit Middle-earth still moved them. Finwë reigned in Tirion, and the dwellers on Túna and at Alqualondë grew into closer fellowship.
