Ελληνικά: Το 1953 ένας τρομερός σεισμός σχεδόν κατέστρεψε τα νησιά, αφήνοντας "όρθιο" μόνο το βορειότερο μέρος της νήσου Κεφαλονιάς, την χερσόνησο της Ερίσσου όπου και ο παραδοσιακός οικισμός του Φισκάρδου. Ισοπεδώθηκαν σχεδόν όλα τα κτήρια του νησιού Ζακύνθου εκτός από την εκκλησία του Αγ. Διονυσίου, το κτήριο της Εθνικής Τράπεζας και το σχολείο της συνοικίας του Άμμου στην πρωτεύουσα, που ήταν κτισμένα αντισεισμικά.
Français : Le tremblement de terre de Céphalonie et Zante du 18 août 1953 atteignit 7,2 sur l'échelle de Richter et fit 476 morts.
