| Description: | The Ebre Observatory was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1904 at the town of Roquetes (northeastern Iberian peninsula). Its geographical coordinates are: 40049.23N and 0029.60E. Although since the establishment of the Observatory it was devoted to the study of Solar-Terrestrial physics, a seismological section was created, because at that time it was believed that there could exist a relation between solar activity and seismicity. It is, so, the oldest seismic station in Catalonia and the third in Spain after San Fernando (1898) and Cartuja (1902) both located in the southern part of the Iberian peninsula. |
