Text in English & German. The cities of Napier and Hastings are located on the Mediterranean-esque Hawke's Bay on New Zealand's North Island. A serious earthquake struck the area in 1931 and profoundly changed the image of both cities: unique architectural jewels in Art Deco and Spanish Mission style emerged out of the ruins of the destroyed houses.
