From 1921 to 1932, Villa Aurea was the home of Sir Alexander Hardcastle, a captain in the English army of noble birth.

He bought the late nineteenth-century country villa, located along the walls of the ancient Akragas between the Temple of Concordia and that of Hercules, and named it Villa Aurea because of its proximity to the homonymous gate of the ancient fortifications.
