Abstract
This work shows the preliminary results of the analysis of the geological effects generated by the Ademuz earthquake (Valencia, Spain) of June 7th, 1656. This event is classified as intensity VIII (EMS) in publications of the Spanish Seismic Network (IGN), currently appears in the IGN seismic catalog with no assigned intensity due to the lack of information about building damage and intensity records from the population affected. Most of the environmental seismic effects are located mainly in the vicinity of the river Turia between the localities of Ademuz and Casas Altas (c. 5 km apart). The application of the macroseismic intensity scale ESI-07 to these environmental effects, both inventoried in the field and described in the historical documentation indicates a minimum intensity VIII ESI-07. However, the slope mass movements induced by this event, in relation with geological an topographic site effects, suggest, that this event may have reached intensity IX.
