The building is integrated in the area where the city of Tusculum stood, an ancient city in Lazio, whose foundation dates back to pre-Roman times. It is visible along the path that from Mount Tuscolo leads to Rocca Priora and served as a water supply for the numerous villas and gardens that were present on the slope of the hill overlooking Rome.
