Monte Grifone is part of the Palermo mountain range. On the promontory stands what is believed to be the oldest cypress in Europe, credited with about 500 years of life. The tree is known as the "cipresso di San Benedetto" (Cypress of Saint Benedict) because, according to legend, it sprang from the staff of Saint Benedict Manasseri driven into the ground.
