In 1300, the Apostolic Camera considered the fortress of Gallese essential for the protection of Rome. Initially a stronghold, it transformed into a castle with features suitable for both defense and as a prestigious residence for the secular and ecclesiastical feudal lords who governed the city with the consent of the Holy See.

During the 16th century, the castle underwent significant modifications to assume the appearance of a palace.
