The municipality of Vasia is situated at the foot of Monte Acquarone and is made up of scattered districts that are linked by a network of roads. In the Middle Ages, Vasia, Pantasina and Pienavia formed the upper district of Prelà Superiore, which was probably built because at the church of San Martino there were Benedictine monks, who encouraged agriculture and introduced olive cultivation. The town was part of the feudal estate of the Ventimiglia nobility and later of the Lascaris and the Savoys.

The Baroque parish church of Sant'Antonio Abate, which has the highest bell tower in the valley, preserves two sixteenth-century poliptychs showing the Virgin Mary with child and saints. Nearby you will see the oratory of the Immacolata Concezione which has a late Baroque façade and was begun in 1757 by Filippo Marvaldi.

The town of Castello stands on top of a rock spur and is interesting to visit because of the ruins of the mediaeval manor and the parish church of Santi Giacomo e Nicola; it is of mediaeval origin but was rebuilt in the sixteenth century. The parish church of Pantasina is a Baroque reconstruction with a slate portal. The late Gothic sanctuary in Montegrazie was built in 1450 on the site of an earlier Romanesque church and contains some fine frescoes. In the Baroque parish church there is a magnificent poliptych with twelve panels painted by Carlo Braccesco in 1478.

The excursion around the valley head begins in Vasia, while other interesting excursions can be made to Monte Acquarone (732 m.), Villa Viani and Moltedo, whose parish church preserves the "Holy Family" by Van Dyck. For the last forty years, Vasia has held an October chestnut festival.
