The villa was built by the Filangeri family in 1872 on the foundation of an old fort erected by the French in 1810. The house was left abandoned after the restoration work that was carried out by the Bourbons.
The building has a set of structural elements and architectural styles. All this fails to give the whole a unitary structure, but it seems the result of work performed during different periods.
