Abstract

Catalonia, in the NE part of the Iberian Peninsula, was shaken by large earthquakes in the XV Century. As these are the largest events consigned in the regional catalogues of seismicity, a proper knowledge of their epicentral parameters and their effects is essential for any further analysis of regional seismic hazard and risk. We review the present knowledge of these important events and some applications of the obtained results for the calculation of scenarios and other products really useful for civil protection for present earthquakes.
