Deep ravines slicing through the rock define the landscape of Castellaneta, a territory stretching from the Murgia plateau down to the Ionian Sea. Located about 40 kilometers from Taranto, the town is heavily shaped by this dramatic karst geology.
Home to 17,125 residents, the municipality belongs to the Tarentine Murgia Mountain Community. The network of surrounding gravine provides a rugged, arid environment for hikers exploring the inland spaces between the Apulian hills and the southern coast.
