The 1088 Tmogvi earthquake (Georgian: თმოგვის მიწისძვრა) occurred on April 16[2] or April 22,[3][Note 1] 1088, on Easter Sunday, in the southern provinces of the Kingdom of Georgia. It takes its name from the castle of Tmogvi, in Javakheti, whose destruction is specifically noted in the medieval annals of Georgia.[2][4] Its magnitude is estimated as 6.5 on the surface-wave magnitude scale.[3]
