El Museo de los Concilios y de la Cultura Visigoda, filial del Museo de Santa Cruz de Toledo, fue creado en 1969 con la misión de exhibir en él cuantos testimonios histórico-artísticos puedan recogerse relativos a dicha cultura de cuyo reino fue capital, centro político, religioso y artístico la ciudad de Toledo.

El yacimiento arqueológico de Guarrazar, situado en la localidad de Guadamur, provincia de Toledo, alberga los restos de un complejo monumental de época visigoda, compuesto por una basílica, dependencias monacales y una residencia palatina. En este enclave se halló el denominado Tesoro de Guarrazar, compuesto por cruces y coronas votivas del siglo VII, seguramente ofrendadas en la basílica como exvoto real.

It is the most conflictive monument in all Spanish Pre Romanesque since though its structure is clearly that of a cruciform church -even the facades recall those of Montelios- its covering system and, above all, its decoration, lead to the Mozarabic period. There are many reasons from the historical point of view as well as from the architectural one that suggest us to include it in the Visigothic period.

Cruciform church built upon the same plans of St. Comba de Bande and St. María de Melque, though through the remnants that have been found we know it had a much richer decoration, connected with courtier Toledan art. Unfortunately only rests of the walls have survived maybe due to flaws in the laying of foundations upon flat granite soil.

The deposit of Los Hitos, next Arisgotas’s locality, Toledo, is composed by the remains of a building constructed in masonry and sillarejo with stirrups or external buttresses, divided in three areas, with the central of major extent that the wings. His singular structure and the appearance of a sarchofagus of marble surrounded with other graves speak to us about a possible court or funeral function of the building, raised in the 7th century.
