The thesis provides an analysis of the collected data on the earthquakes that have occurred in Croatia in the last 140 years. The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of previous experiences with earthquakes, approaches and consequences of the conservation and restoration actions of historical monuments. An earthquake is a natural disaster that cannot be predicted or prevented, and the consequences and damage of its activity are enormous. In Croatia, several seismically active zones are recognized within which the largest recorded earthquakes have occurred. The first part of the paper analyzes the actions, proposals and the organization of reconstruction on the examples of the Zagreb earthquake in the 19th century and the earthquake in Dubrovnik in the 20th century. They are supplemented by data on earthquakes that occurred during 2020 in the area of Zagreb, Sisak, Petrinja and the surrounding area. The second part of the paper looks at the proposals of different approaches to the reconstruction after the earthquake, various actions and their limitations when working on cultural monuments. On the examples of the Archives in Sisak, the Krsto Hegedušić Gallery in Petrinja and the Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, urgent protection procedures and the process of organizing the evacuation of objects of movable heritage were discussed. Finally, a review of previous experiences of post-earthquake reconstruction, methods of action and their limitations when approaching the reconstruction and works on the monuments of movable and immovable heritage was offered.
