A structured repository of historical seismic activity mapped by distance to the park boundaries
Review an organized catalogue of recorded seismic events identified by their epicentre proximity to the volcanic landscape of Vesuvius National Park. This historical dataset presents documented earthquake data including event dates, magnitudes, and focal depths, offering a structured geographic look at regional activity as derived from scientific archives. The records provide context on documented movements relative to this Italian protected area without implying direct causation or specific geological warnings.
Active volcano reserve protecting Mediterranean ecosystems on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius
Vesuvius National Park is an Italian national park established on June 5, 1995, centered on the active volcano Mount Vesuvius and the ancient crater of Monte Somma in the Campania region southeast of Naples. The park encompasses approximately 72.6 square kilometers across thirteen municipalities within the Province of Naples, making it one of Europe's few protected areas centered on an active continental volcano. The Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex has a geological history spanning over 400,000 years, with the current volcanic structure featuring a massive outer cone (Monte Somma) that contains the younger, still-active Gran Cono of Vesuvius within its caldera. This unique volcanic landscape, combined with Mediterranean maquis and forest vegetation, supports remarkable biodiversity given the park's relatively small area, with 612 plant species and 227 animal species recorded within its boundaries.
Trace historical epicentres mapped by proximity to the protected volcanic terrain
Spatially associated earthquake records compile historical seismic data mapped by the distance from their epicentres to Vesuvius National Park. Individual entries provide verifiable event details including magnitude, focal depth, date, recorded coordinates, calculated proximity, and links to primary seismological data sources.
This page describes catalogued earthquakes associated with the park by epicentre location and distance. It does not establish causation, assess current danger, or predict future earthquakes.
