Earthquake Research and Analysis-New Advances in Seismology
1. Introduction
The origin of the town of Andújar (figures 1 and 2), in southern Spain, is likely a Roman
settlement, as suggested by certain archaeological evidence in its historical center (figure 2).
Andújar was probably founded to control a significant strategic route on the edge of the
Guadalquivir River and ending in Córdoba. The town was a flat settlement, without natural
shelters, presumably defended in this epoch by a defensive wall or fortification, although no
evidence remains of it.
