Theater of important historical events, such as the imprisonment of Elena degli Angeli and the Western Schism, the castle of Nocera collects the legacy of the Roman settlement of Nuceria and prepares the development of the modern city. The volume illustrates the results of the archaeological research carried out in 2007 at the hill of S. Andrea and on the entire Nocerino territory, research made possible through an agreement between the Department of Latinity and the Middle Ages of the University of Salerno and the Territorial Park of the Agro. The planimetric survey and the analysis of the wall structures made free by vegetation have led to the identification of the numerous architectural phases of the Castrense complex which, attested in the sources starting from 984, has undergone numerous alterations over time that have strongly altered the original plant. The study avails itself of the contribution of scholars from different backgrounds providing a general framework on the historical and environmental transformations of the site and concludes with an exhaustive bibliographic appendix created and commented on by its author.
