The building of Palazzina Lamarmora has been set up since the medieval period with the intention of creating an important base structure capable of supporting Ie subsequent elevations.
It is shown in the first cartography of the city of Iglesias made in 1794 by the measurer Maina, commissioned by Bishop Porqueddu.
It was not until the early 1900s, as the development of the mining sector fueled rapid population growth and the city projected itself onto a Central European dimension, that the building reached its current elevation, and in 1904 its facade was embellished with floral friezes among which 9 advertising paintings were made that made this building unique in Italy and Europe.
In 2004, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage attributed to the building the value of cultural heritage: after a century since ‘last major intervention, in May of that year the building was restored by a private individual who, in compliance with the constraints imposed by the Superintendence, restored the facade of the building to its original state returning it to the collective enjoyment that everyone can admire today.
