The hamlet of Casagreca is made up of houses built in stone and are largely from the 19th century, with some older examples. One of the ruined houses may date back to the 16th century and has two crosses engraved on the architrave of a sealed window. The church dedicated to S. Maria and S. Vincenzo is simple in structure and is located at the entrance to the town. The medieval church of S. Maria di "Casarice" was located on the hill overlooking the town. The settlement of Casagreca appears in documents since the 11th century with the name "Casareco", a toponym probably of Lombard origin. It is said that once there was an underground passage between the castle of Rocca Roseto and Casagreca to facilitate the movements of the garrison. In the past, the town was also known by the names of Casereco, Casarico, Casarice. The residents are very proud of their land and often return to spend the summer or weekends. In the past, the inhabitants were nicknamed Carunir (coal miners) due to their charcoal production activity.

The feast of the Patron Saint, St. Mary, is celebrated on August 15th.
