The Carthusian property, purchased in the late 15th century by Eliseo Terracina, was transferred around 1580 to the Avitabile family and later by Orazio Altera at the beginning of the following century, only to be sold in 1617 to Francesco Maresca and, a century later, to Tommaso Vargas Macciucca. Purchased in 1743 by Marquis Francesco Grimaldi, it was transformed by his son Giuseppe into an elegant residence. In 1849, the palace was acquired by Caterina Torre and later inherited by her nephew Salvatore, Marquis of Civitaretenga.
