      The ancient Aluntium or Haluntium stood on the site of today's location. In the 4th century BC The Greeks took over the rule. The city at that time was evidently of great regional importance because it had its own currency. During the Roman rule, the then Haluntium had the meaning of a Civitas Decumana and had its own Senate.

      During the following centuries the city lost its importance and was probably a Byzantine fortress around the 6th century.

      The city flourished again during the Norman rule. In 1061 the Normans built the San Marco Castle, around which the mainly Greek population settled. A public bath, a shipyard and extensive agricultural facilities bear witness to the heyday of that time. From 1398 to 1806 the Filangieri family owned the place as a fief, in 1830 the Lanza followed them as heirs.
