ROCKFALL HAZARD AND RISK ASSESSMENT: AN EXAMPLE FROM A HIGH PROMONTORY AT THE HISTORICAL SITE OF MONEMVASIA, GREECE (2012)

The paper presents the kinematics of rock instability of a high limestone promontory, where the Monemvasia historical site is situated, in Peloponnese in Southern Greece. The instability phenomena poses a significant threat to the town located at the base of the slope. Rockfall episodes occurred in the past due to the relaxation of the high cliff,
whereas significant undermining of the castle frontiers has been observed at the slope crest.
