The original 16th-century property, belonging to the Terracina family, was purchased in the late 17th century by Ottavio Gaeta, Duke of San Nicola, and underwent several expansions carried out by his sons Nicola Antonio and Carlo. In 1746, the property was converted into a Carmelite monastery, with an adjoining church dedicated to SS. Giovanni e Teresa, designed by Luigi Vanvitelli; survived the Napoleonic disposals, the complex was definitively suppressed after the Italian unification, and converted into a care facility, a function it still serves today.
