Casacalenda (Molisan dialect Casechelenne; Kalena) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Campobasso in the Italian region Molise, located about northeast of Campobasso.
==History== The Greek historian Polybius mentions a battle in 217 BC between the Roman army, based in Kalene, and Hannibal, based in Gerione (now a hamlet of Casacalenda). The name might have been derived from the Latin Kalendae or Kalends, the first day of the month in the Roman calendar.
