Its origins date back to 1799 and it was already rebuilt in 1849 by Austrian troops who tried to invade Piazza di Ancona and occupy some forts in the area. Subsequently, the area was fortified by the Papal government by building an earthen lunette, but in 1860 the Italian forces captured the fortress after a fierce battle. The Piedmontese government ordered the fortification in 1861 and by January 1863 the works were already in full swing.
