It was designed in the 1930s by Italian engineer Vittorio Bonadè Bottino [it].

The structure is famous for having been where Benito Mussolini was held prisoner between August 28 and September 12, 1943, following the armistice of Cassibile, until his liberation by the German paratroopers as part the Gran Sasso raid. Today, it serves as the main lodging for the ski resort of the same name, and a starting point for hiking on the western side of the Gran Sasso.

The main structure has been closed for renovations since at least 2018.[2] Its hostel lodges visitors in the meantime.
