The original structure was located near the Cathedral Church, at the foot of the Motta (characteristic promontory located in the oldest part of the Guiscard town), a few years after the Council of Trent. Its current location dates back to the early 19th century, when it was moved to the former almshouse next to the Church of S. Francesco. It is a location of undisputed cultural significance (the poet and patriot Vincenzo Padula studied here, among others) and also contains a library collection of valuable books as well as important historic documents.
