The Visigoths entered Hispania (modern Spain and Portugal) in 415 and became the dominant people there until the Umayyad conquest of Hispania of 711 brought their kingdom to an end.
This period in Iberian art is dominated by their style. Visigothic art is generally considered in the English-speaking world to be a strain of Migration art, while the Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking worlds generally classify it as Pre-Romanesque.
Branches of Visigothic art include architecture, crafts (especially jewellery), and the Visigothic script.
