The 557 Constantinople earthquake took place on the night of December 14. This earthquake, described in the works of Agathias, John Malalas, and Theophanes the Confessor, caused great damage to Constantinople, then capital of the Byzantine Empire in a region frequently afflicted with earthquakes. More minor quakes had preceded the large event, including two in April and October respectively. The main quake in December was of unparalleled ferocity, and "almost completely razed" the city. It caused damage to the Hagia Sophia which contributed to the collapse of its dome the next year, as well as damaging the walls of Constantinople to the extent that Hun invaders were able to penetrate it with ease the following season.

  • El Terremoto de Constantinopla de 557 sacudió la capital del Imperio Bizantino en la noche del 14 de diciembre. Según testimonios contemporáneos como Agatías, Juan Malalas o Teófanes el Confesor, el seísmo causó grandes daños en Constantinopla provocando un gran número de víctimas, muchos de los edificios de la ciudad fueron destruidos y sus murallas muy dañadas. Seis meses más tarde, la debilitada cúpula de Santa Sofía se derrumbó, y en el año 559 una incursión de los cutriguros consiguieron atravesar las secciones de la muralla que no habían sido reparadas.​ (es)
  • 557年12月14日のコンスタンティノープル地震は、アガティアスや、聖テオファネスらが記録した、東ローマ帝国の首都コンスタンティノープルとその周辺に壊滅的被害をもたらした地震である。大地震に先立って、4月と10月のものをはじめとして何度も前震が発生していた。12月の本震は並外れて激しいものとなり、コンスタンティノープルは壊滅的被害を被った。ハギア・ソフィア大聖堂は大きなダメージを受け、翌年にドームが崩落する原因となった。またコンスタンティノープルの城壁が崩れたところにフン族の襲来が重なり、東ローマ帝国は窮地に立たされた。 (ja)
