History
The first known mention of Busalla is in an 1192 document. Later it is known to have been held by the
Wars of Guelphs and Ghibellines
.
In the 16th century the structure, again in ruins, was used as foundation of a new palace for the Spinola. Busalla became part of the Republic of Genoa in 1728. In 1815, together with the latter, it was acquired by the Kingdom of Sardinia.
