Its post-Roman history until 1851 is in common with Nocera Superiore.
Post-Roman history
At an early date, the city became an episcopal see named Nuceria Christianorum ('Nocera of the Christians'), and in the 12th century, it sided with Innocent II against Roger II of Sicily, suffering severely for its choice.
In the 13th century, and long after, the town had the name of Nocera dei Pagani ('Nocera of the pagans') because a colony of Muslim Saracens was introduced by Frederick II in the annexed territory of nowadays Pagani. It is said that, through their darker complexion and features, the townsfolk maintain the heritage of these Muslim settlers.
In 1385 Pope Urban VI was besieged in the castle by Charles III of Naples.
