AB This work shows a new stress map for Europe obtained from the inversion of earthquakes focal mechanismscalculated with the centroid tensor method (Dzieownski et al., 1982). An amount of 1608 focal mechanismshave been selected with several quality criteria from different catalogues (CMT Harvard, ETH, Med-Net,I.G.N. and I.A.G.) from 1973 to present-day. Values for the maximum horizontal stress and the shape factorof the ellipsoid (horizontal/vertical stress) have been calculated following the Reches (1983) and De Vicente(1988) slip model. The local results have been interpolated to a 1ºx1º regular grid in which the relationbetween tectonic horizontal stress and vertical load has been taken into account. The final map shows agood correlation with the primary tectonic forces generated in the plate boundaries and the local perturbationsrelated with main crustal heterogeneities as suggested by Gölke and Coblentz (1996)
