The tenth anniversary of the largest earthquake in Spain since the mid-1950s is commemorated in Lorca

This Tuesday (May 11) LORCA celebrates the tenth anniversary of the earthquake that killed nine people.

The Murcia region town will hold a memorial event at 7.00 pm in Piazza España.

The magnitude 5.2 earthquake knocked down several buildings and occurred at 4.47 pm, about 90 minutes after a 4.4 magnitude earthquake.

It was the worst earthquake to hit Spain since it hit the Granada region in 1956.

With so many old buildings in Lorca, they were vulnerable to damage from a major tremor.

Also, modern apartment buildings were not strong enough to withstand the historically high earthquake.

One of the most surprising images in the aftermath of the devastation in 2011 was that of a church bell falling to the ground in front of a television cameraman.

The memorial service on Tuesday night will consist of speeches and musical performances

It will be attended by politicians, emergency service workers and relatives of people who have died.

The day before, a monument will be officially unveiled at La Viña’s Parque 11 de Mayo, with nine trees planted in memory of the victims.

Scientists studying the fault line below Lorca suggested that the removal of the groundwater may have caused the tragedy.

Detailed surface maps from satellite studies allowed them to deduce which parts of the Earth moved and where.

They concluded in 2012 that these transitions are related to sites where water has been discharged for years.

Their study there shed light on how human activity such as drainage or well drilling can have far-reaching seismic effects.
