Castellaneta, Administrative commune in Apulia, Italy.
Castellaneta extends from the Murgia highlands to the Ionian Sea, covering 242 square kilometers at an elevation of 245 meters above sea level.
The settlement transformed from a fortified city named Castania in 550 AD into a Norman stronghold after their conquest in 1064, displacing Byzantine inhabitants.

The municipality provides local governance services to over 17,000 residents and connects to other cities through established road networks in the Taranto province.
