Historical Seismicity in Catalonia: XIV and XV Centuries
A number of large earthquakes occurred in Catalonia (NE of the Iberian Peninsula) in the XIV and XV centuries. Some of these earthquakes were felt up to a distance of 300 km where these tremors were felt or caused damage (Spain and France). The existence of contemporary sources of the late medieval period in Catalonia allows us to study these earthquakes in more detail. The good state of preservation of old documents and the wealth of description of the events have enabled us to make a relatively reliable reconstruction of these events.
