The settlement emerged in 980 under Abbot Adam I of San Clemente, receiving its first written documentation in 987 before passing through various noble families' control.

The Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria, established in 871, contains architectural treasures including an alabaster urn with Saint Clement's remains and a notable cyborium.

Visitors can reach Castiglione a Casauria through the A25 motorway, with the Torre de' Passeri exit providing direct access to the municipality.
