The constant care given to the Mosque-Cathedral naturally includes considering the possibility of an earthquake and how the building would react in such an event. In its more than 1,200 years of existence, the temple has experienced earthquakes of varying intensity, among which stands out the famous Lisbon earthquake on November 1, 1755, which left noticeable marks on the transept.

Times have evolved, and a 21st-century response is needed for such a scenario. For this reason, on Wednesday, the studies by the Department of Building Structures and Geotechnical Engineering at the Higher Technical School of Architecture (ETSA) of Seville will be presented during an event held at the Real Círculo de la Amistad at 7:00 pm.

Participants in the presentation will include Gabriel Rebollo Puig, restoration architect of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba; Antonio Morales Esteban, Manuel Vázquez Boza, and Emilio Romero Sánchez, all from the Department of Building Structures and Geotechnical Engineering (ETSA), as well as María Victoria Requena García de la Cruz from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design at the University of Cádiz.
