The 1644 earthquake

Historical milestone · Castell de Guadalest, el, La Marina Baixa, Alicante

Image of Castell de Guadalest, el, not of the place itself.

The earthquake that shook the comarca in 1644 ruined a good part of the fortress and of the houses perched on the rock. The repairs dragged on for decades and a new earthquake in 1748 again damaged what had been rebuilt.
