Intensity data for the past earthquakes in the Iberian Peninsula have been recently collected in several journal publications presenting both the isoseismal lines and the list of the localities with their intensity value, specifically for Catalonia, in the north of Spain. New historical accounts found for the same earthquakes, studies recently performed for different authors with new interpretations in terms of the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS)-98 and conversions from ancient intensity scales to the EMS-98 scale are the new inputs for the compilation of this Intensity Data Bank for the Iberian Peninsula (IDIP). The lowest threshold recorded is intensity 3, and the lowest maximum intensity considered is 5. The purpose of this data bank, which covers the period 1396–2011, is to complete and homogenize an intensity database for seismic studies in the Iberian Peninsula. This data bank includes intensity data for 211 shocks with more than three intensity points and 321 events with only maximum intensity values.
