The fortress had great strategic value in the military history of the city up to and including the defense of the Neapolitan Republic of 1799 against the returning royalist forces of King Ferdinand IV. The castle was partially demolished in 1900 as part of Naples' great urban renewal in order to make room for a road along the sea. Two towers and fragmentary ruins still stand as historic markers.
