The land on which the palace was built was originally a coastal lookout post, and was donated to the ''Monte di Redenzione'' by Caterina Vitale in 1619. The palace used to be rented out to knights of the Order of Saint John as a place to relax and hunt wild rabbits, which were commonly found in the area. The rent money contributed to the redemption fund. The palace itself was built the sometime in the 18th century, although the exact date of construction is not known. The earliest record of the structure is on a 1783 map, when it was referred to as ''Torre Nuova'' (new tower). The palace's architect is unknown, but it is sometimes attributed to Domenico Cachia.
