Vatika Castle is first mentioned in the Chronicle of the Morea, which records the granting of the area by William II Villehardouin to the nobles of Monemvasia. In 1262, the region came under Byzantine rule and later alternated between Venetian and Ottoman control until the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821.

The most important monuments of the archaeological site are the ancient theatre and the ancient agora, as well as remains of Roman tomb monuments and Early Christian basilicas. The ancient theatre, dating to the early Imperial period, along with a section of the ancient agora, was uncovered at the end of the last century during excavations conducted by the Archaeological Society. At the same time, the remaining parts of the ancient agora continue to be revealed today by the Archaeological Service. The remains of the funerary monuments and the Early Christian basilicas have also recently come to light through excavations carried out by the same authority.
