Archaeoseismology in a Mediterranean City

Archaeoseismology reveals new insights into the seismic resilience and vulnerability of medieval architecture, particularly in the historic center of Siena. This study, part of the European PROTECT project, introduces innovative methodologies to assess how past earthquakes have shaped urban landscapes and social contexts. By analyzing architectural evidence, it provides a multidisciplinary perspective that bridges archaeology, seismology, and cultural heritage preservation. The findings underscore the significance of archeoseismological approaches in understanding complex urban dynamics and their relationship with both medieval and modern seismic events.
