Castillo de Coca

It was built in 1453 by the illustrious bishop of Avila, Don Alonso de Fonseca, under the direction of the architect Ali Caro.

Upon his death, his brother continued to work. In 1462, Coca had a mint to issue Castilian and Portuguese coins that helped pay for the workers involved in building the castle.

The Coca Castle is one of the most beautiful examples of Spanish Mudéjar Gothic art. Its construction amazes and loves it for the first time, as in every brick form it expresses an architectural ensemble as original and innovative as few people.

It highlights the unique beauty of its rooms, represented by beautiful Mudéjar geometric decorations made of stucco and paintings, which also gives us a unique and unrepeatable legacy.

Another peculiarity is that it is not constructed on a hill as is usually the case with forts of this type, as its defense system benefits from the cliff terrain, which acts as a seat for this castle that stands over a wide and deep area. The trench. A love story in which Marquis Senetti starred .
