The pre-Romanesque period lasted from the beginning of the Middle Ages (around 500 AD) to the emergence of the Romanesque style (from the 10th century). Much of the notable architecture from the period comes from France and Germany, under the [[Merovingian art and architecture|Merovingians]] and the [[Carolingian architecture|Carolingians]] and the [[Ottonian architecture|Ottonians]]. Other regions also have examples of architecture from this period, including [[Croatian pre-Romanesque art and architecture|Croatia]], [[Anglo-Saxon architecture|England]] and [[Iberian pre-Romanesque art and architecture|Iberia]] (especially in [[Asturian architecture|Asturias]] and [[Mozarabic art and architecture|León]]). In Lombardy, the pre-Romanesque style included many Romanesque features and is therefore known as the [[First Romanesque]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Romanesque |url=https://www.oxfordartonline.com/groveart/display/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.001.0001/oao-9781884446054-e-7000072835 |access-date=2024-12-10 |website=Grove Art Online |date=2003 |language=en |doi=10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T072835 |last1=Fernie |first1=Eric |last2=Lyman |first2=Thomas W. |last3=Hicks |first3=Carola |last4=Baylé |first4=Maylis |last5=Tcherikover |first5=Anat |last6=Camus |first6=M.
