In Casavecchia stands the pieve of Sant'Oreste, documented since 1189: it sits on a natural terrace, has a stern gray stone facade with bas-reliefs and small arches, and holds works by Simone de Magistris and Morale da Fermo. At the turnoff for Montecavallo is the sanctuary of Santa Maria in Caspriano, a 16th-century white stone church with an octagonal plan that recalls the sanctuary of Macereto.

On the heights above the Tazza valley, a tributary of the Chienti, lies the Riserva naturale integrale dello Stato Montagna di Torricchio, a strict nature reserve: 317 hectares between 820 and 1,491 m, the first protected area established in the Marche, owned by the University of Camerino and intended above all for scientific research. Casavecchia is also home to Fattoria Lucarini, where pecorino and cured meats can be found.
