 The first fortress was built in the 474 b.C. by the Greek Siracusano Gerone I.
The long dominations that followed transformed completely the fortress in the years.
In 1301 following the last eruption of Mount Epomeo that destroyed Ischia (where today the pine forest is) the people took refuge on the small island.
Toward the beginning of 1700, the castle gave hospitality to 1892 families and also to the Convent of the Clarisse, the Abbey of the Greek Basiliani, the Bishop, the Chapter and the seminary, and also to the prince with his garrison.
