A natural cave, already known to archaeologists since 1908, was set up as a summer dining room, with water features and extraordinary sculptural groups from the cycle of Ulysses (including the colossal Polyphemus group), found in fragments in 1957 and currently preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga.

After the destruction of the Barbarossa it was rebuilt in 1611 and again destroyed in 1623. Between 1870 and 1969 it was used as the headquarters for the Guardia di Finanza, while later it became the seat of the "Marine Environment Education Center" of the Regional Natural Park " Riviera d'Ulisse ".
