Parthènope was born here in the third quarter of the eighth century AD [2] [3]: it included the territory between the islet of Megaride and the hill of Pizzofalcone.
In Roman times, the area was part of the villa of Licinio Lucullo. At the top of the hill, in the archaeological site of Monte Echia, some remains of the Villa's estate can be seen
