Built in a territory populated since the 6th-4th centuries BC, Accettura (from the Latin acceptor, meaning sparrow hawk or from acceptae, meaning piece of land) it was quoted for the first time in an Episcopal Bull in 1060. The populations of the rural nuclei which were scattered in the surrounding area (Gallipoli, Cortaglia, and Costa di Raja) probably settled in the current center. Destroyed by the fire of 1272, Accettura was rebuilt by Carlo d'Angiò and became the property of the Bozzano family. Subsequently, it was owned by Giovanni Pipino, Eligio Della Marra, the Ponsiaco, the Carafa, the Colonna, and by the Spinelli family until the eversion of feudalism.
