Spain after the Romans

Description

Any study of medieval Spanish culture must first explore the forces that left their mark on the country in antiquity. This program guides viewers through the historical and artistic legacy of Spain's Roman past, focusing on specific urban centers that were occupied by Roman legions. Featuring breathtaking footage from ruins and other archeological sites, the documentary traces not only the Italic influence so abundant on the Iberian Peninsula but also the role of the Visigoths in the era leading up to the Moorish invasion. Recaredo, San Isidoro, Don Rodrigo, La Cava, El Conde Don Julian, and Tarik all figure in the narrative.
