Since 1900, 1922, 1926, 1950 and 1990 saw damaging earthquakes in the CATDAT damaging earthquakes database. The 1990 earthquake caused 7 million USD damage and 6 people died. On this occasion however, 400 year old churches have been damaged, meaning that it is likely the strongest earthquake to have hit the region since.
