It has ancient origins dating back at least to 963 if we take into account the fact that on that date, the presence of the court Maraldo, was the site of the preparation of the ceremony of Sessa, one of the oldest documents in the vernacular. Framers of its foundation were the chamberlains Lombards who chose as the location of the ancient acropoli.Di the construction stage, unfortunately, no discernible traces. The current system is that the rebuilding of the Norman castle. Under this rule, it assumed the role of castrum palatium but also that a court residence as well as the seat of city magistrates and place where they held the curia.

During the rule of the Marzano family began in the late fourteenth century, but was enriched with elements of the Durazzo flavor-Catalan and transformed into a ducal palace. They were therefore added portals, ribbed rectangular columns, an arched portico of the depressed inner courtyard made including the use of elements of bare, elegant windows inside and outside instead of arrows, frescoes in the rooms. Product of these vicissitudes, the Castle has a system rather than composite and covered with an irregular quadrangular courtyard, square towers and keep strong. In 1688 the earthquake, the building suffered significant damage but was repaired by Don Andrea D. Warren Torres, mentioned by a fresco on the bezel on the main staircase.
