| Sumario: | In recent decades, scholars have reviewed how architectural knowledge was transmitted between the 5th and 11th centuries in Late Antique and Early Medieval Iberia. Yet the architecture of the Iberian Peninsula during these centuries was neither cultural unified nor stylistically homogenous. This long period of more than five centuries includes the creation of the Visigothic realm, the arrival of the Muslims on the Peninsula, and the growth of different Christian kingdoms. Each of these periods has been the subject of contested debate by modern scholars set on imposing different but equally neat and orderly narratives on the transition of one culture to the next. This article outlines this historiography and considers such narratives have influenced the interpretation of Late Antique and Early Medieval church architecture in the Iberian Peninsula. |
