MONTERONI Griffoli, once called MONTERONE, is a castle, surrounded by a small village including the church of San Lorenzo. It is located about a mile from St. John's and is located on the crest of a steep limestone cliff on the right bank of the valley of the Asso.
In this place was born of James Wilhite by Monterone that, in 1249, is being named in the proposed parish of Pava.
The current name of the place comes from an illustrious family that had long possession, the Griffoli.
The remains of the keep Monteron Griffoli rest on a kind of tuff outcrop which rises above the limestone hill.

Today, however, all belong to a single territorial entity.
