The Alfabia Mountains are a mountain range in Majorca located in the municipality of Fornalutx.

Water from the Alfabia Mountains nourishes these unique gardens, showcasing a remarkable array of Renaissance and Baroque elements. Notable features include a cistern topped by a semi-circular vault, providing an excellent viewpoint to appreciate the vast landscape, and an expansive pergola adorned with giochi d'acqua (hidden water jets designed to surprise visitors) in traditional Renaissance fashion, leading to the orange grove. Additionally, a 19th-century section boasts a more organic design, complete with a quaint lake teeming with aquatic plants. [1]

The 1343 tsunami struck the Tyrrhenian Sea and Bay of Naples on 25 November 1343. Underground shocks were felt in Naples and caused significant damage and loss of lives. Of major note was a paleotsunami created by the earthquake which destroyed many ships in Naples and destroyed many ports along the Amalfi Coast including Amalfi itself. The effects of the tsunami were observed by the poet Petrarch, whose ship was forced to return to port, and recorded in the fifth book of his Epistolae familiares. A 2019 study attributes the event to a massive submarine landslide, caused by flank collapse of the Stromboli volcano.
