Two religious buildings were built in the Middle Ages: the church of San Giuseppe, around which the village of Sala was formed, the historic center of Corbara, and the hermitage of Sant'Erasmo.

The town of Corbara depended on Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino.

The municipal entity of Corbara was born only at the end of the 16th century, when the bishop of Nocera granted the town an autonomous parish (the Church of San Bartolomeo, then of San Francesco) and thus the Universitas Corbariensis, part of the city of Nocera, was founded. de' Pagani.
