In the highest part of Mount Morrecone, in the tenth century they began to build fortifications that by around 1200 had already taken the form of a castle then bought by the Savelli family.
The Savelli family ruled all this greater area until 1600 when, because of a financial crisis, sold it to the Prince Marco Antonio Borghese (1611).
The prince gave the castle of Moricone for use by Sister Dove Serantoni (1701-1781), founder of the "Oblates of St. Clare" who lived here and set up a boarding school for young girls.
Today, the municipal part is home to the library and the Historical Archive of Moricone.
