the arrival of the Germanic tribes, and the culture of the

In the modern era, the image of the Visigoths has evolved

The memory of the Visigothic kings, less barbaric than
they are sometimes depicted, faded from view … until
archaeological excavations gradually began to reinstate
them. València and its surrounding area, especially
Riba-roja de Túria, bear witness to a period with its own

sites: Casals del Mas de Sabater (Morella), Horta Vella
(Bétera), València la Vella and Pla de Nadal (Riba-roja de
Túria), the cathedral ensemble and the circus of Valentia,
Senda de l’Horteta (Alcàsser), Punta de l’Illa and Portus
Sucronensis (Cullera), Monastil (Elda), Allon (Vila Joiosa),
Ilici (Elx), Portus Ilicitanus (Santa Pola) and others.
