History
An Imperial villa excavated by A. Maiuri in the 1930s, Damecuta was connected to the Iulio-Claudian emperors. The construction of later Medieval and Bourbon fortifications on the site significantly damaged the ancient remains. The Medieval Damecuta tower stands atop part of the Roman villa.
