Abstract: Abstract In the winter of 1714–1715, a large rotational landslide originated on the northern slope of the Sierra de Aralar (Navarra, Spain), generating an earthflow that slowly descended through the valley for a kilometer and a half destroying the village of Inza. An interdisciplinary research recreated the historical process of the event and the geomorphological characterization of this large landslide. The geological analysis and hydrogeological characteristics of the site also identified the determining factors of this historical event. From the analysis that triggered the landslide and how the climate affected events can now be demonstrated from historical records of excess rainfall and the initial start of the process. From the recreated pre-failure topography, the stability of the original slope was studied using a 3D numerical model to identify the factors, causes and mechanism that controlled the development of the landslide.
