The baronial palace is the result of various interventions and expansion works, which ended in the eighteenth century with the feudal lord Oronzo Leuzzi. It incorporates an ancient building built in 1576 by Pietro Massa, on top of another already existing one, that is a defense tower from the Byzantine era.
