The name of the mansion was given by the family of its founders – the richest people in Marseille, who traded in trade. In the 19th century, the family ended, and according to the will of the last representative of the Borely family, the castle was given to the municipality. At the same time, it was decided to open a Mediterranean Archeology Museum there. This museum works to this day.
