“…4, one is located in B1 region, two in B2 and four in B3. So, for the churches' type, the consistency between expected and observed damage has proved to be independent on the subzone in Goded et al (2008) which the building is located (and thus with the site effects). These results together with the fact that churches correspond to one of the types better characterized in the VI technique (Sect.…”

“…For the first part of the vulnerability study, the VI method has been used to analyze the 19 monuments damaged in Málaga city due to the 1680 event and still existing today, from a total of 36 buildings with damage information in historical documents (Goded et al 2008). Ten of these buildings have been assigned a damage grade 4 (EMS-98 scale), seven a grade correspond to the Muslim Alcazaba and Gibralfaro castles.…”

“…It must be observed that there are no buildings with observed or expected collapse (damage grade 5). In the 1680 event, 6 buildings were completely destroyed and needed to be demolished, and so they do not exist nowadays (Goded 2006;Goded et al 2008).…”

“…This earthquake caused very heavy damage to the city of Málaga, where at least 70 people were killed and 250 injured. A thorough study of the damage caused by the 1680 event to the city of Málaga (with an estimated intensity of VIII-IX EMS-98, Goded 2006) was carried out by Muñoz and Udías (1988) and completed with new information found in archives, libraries, Goded et al (2008). From the information contained in historical documents, damage grades were estimated for 36 monuments located in the city centre.…”

A vulnerability analysis of some historical and monumental buildings in the city of Málaga is presented in this paper. More than twenty of these monuments were severely damaged or completely destroyed due to the large earthquake (I max = VIII-IX) occurred in the Málaga region in October 1680. The vulnerability index methodology has been used in this paper. This technique is based on statistical data from seismic damage caused to Italian monuments for the past 30 years. For each building, vulnerability curves have been obtained and damage grades have been estimated. A comparison has been carried out between the expected damage grades and the damage observed from past earthquakes, in order to check the feasibility of applying this methodology to Spanish monuments. This comparison has been possible due to the fact that detailed seismic damage information exists for monuments in the city of Málaga that still exist today, which is a very uncommon case in Spain. Results show a good consistency between expected and observed damage, especially for the churches type. Two seismic scenarios have been proposed for the city centre, one deterministic and one probabilistic, where 54 historical and modern buildings have been analyzed. Both scenarios show worrying results, especially for the types of churches, chapels and towers, where expected high probabilities of suffering very heavy damage or even collapse have been obtained. It is highly recommended to take the necessary measures, in the hope of trying to avoid the possible damage that can be expected from future earthquakes.
