1783 Calabrian earthquakes
Five strong earthquakes hit Calabria, a region of the Kingdom of Naples, in 1783. The first two produced significant tsunamis. The epicenters form a clear alignment extending nearly 100 km from the Straits of Messina to about 18 km SSW of Catanzaro. The epicenter of the first earthquake occurred in the plain of Palmi.
