Mattinata, Coastal municipality in Gargano, Italy.

The main urban area of Mattinata spans across two hills, with mountains on three sides and the Adriatic Sea stretching along the eastern plain.

The name Mattinata originates from the Roman village of Matinum, which was established near the current sea port during the first century AD.

The Necropolis of Monte Saraceno contains more than 500 Daunian graves, representing the ancient civilizations that inhabited this Mediterranean region.

The municipality covers 73 square kilometers at 80 meters elevation, with public transportation connecting to neighboring towns throughout the Foggia province.

The northern coastal section features white chalk cliffs and sea grottos, including two natural stone formations called Faraglioni in Zagare Bay.
