The Visigothic Kingdom was a Germanic state established in the early 5th century, primarily in what is now modern-day Spain and Portugal. It emerged after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, with the Visigoths, a branch of the Goths, settling in the region. The kingdom became known for its unique blend of Roman and Germanic cultures. The capital of the Visigothic Kingdom was initially Tarragona, later moving to Toledo. The kingdom played a significant role in the history of Iberia until its conquest by the Muslim forces in the early 8th century, marking the end of Visigothic rule in the region.
