 After the abolition of feudalism in 1806, the fiefs of Gaetani, Carafa, D'Aponte and Baglioni became part of the Contando of Molise and, in 1861, the province of Benevento.The historic center of Morcone is spread out like a fan across a hill, with the castle remains at the summit.There are many narrow, winding streets and steps between the houses in the town.
