Resumo:[EN] Reccopolis is the sole archaeologically-attested Visigothic city foundation in the Iberian Peninsula. Created under King Leovigild in A.D. 578, the city played a notable role in the landscape, persisting as the focal point to the territory through to the 9th century A.D. This paper offers an overview of the organisation and social dynamics of this territory, which must have undergone a major transformation as a result of the new foundation. Among others, the reorganisation of the nearby road system, the emergence of new settlements and the modifications in the agrosystem are good examples of the changes that shaped the landscape between the 7th and 9th centuries, when Reccopolis definitively lost its central role and control in this area of the southern Meseta.
