During the Renaissance era Cassino lay on the northern frontier of the Kingdom of Naples, which was dominated by Spain.
In 1504, during the Second Italian War, the French attempted to capture the town in the Battle of Cassino, but failed.

On May 15–17, 1815, the town was the set of the final cruel battle of the Neapolitan War between an Austrian force commanded by Laval Nugent von Westmeath and the King of Naples, Joachim Murat.
The so-called "Battle of San Germano" ended with the Austrian victory.

On July 28, 1863 the name of the town was officially reverted to "Cassino".
In the same year the town was reached by the rail system.
Cassino was part of the Province Terra di Lavoro (meaning "Land of Work") until 1927, when the Province of Frosinone was founded.
On May 21, 1930  a cable car leading from the town to the Abbey in 7 minutes, covering a vertical drop of over 400 metres, was inaugurated.
