Casaccia was first mentioned in 1160 as Cassache. Located at the junction of the Maloja and Septimer Pass, Casaccia was an important transit station until the 19th century. The ruins of the medieval tower Turraccia above the village remember this period.
The former hospice stood near the ruins of the former sanctuary San Gaudenzio above the village on the pass road. It is mentioned in documents in 1336, but it should be much older.
