The Castle of Coca It is located in the Coca municipality, central Spain. The castle was constructed in the 15th century. A scale model of the castle has been built in the Mudéjar theme park and another replica built at a ratio of 1:25 is placed in the Minimundus miniature park in Klagenfurt, Austria. Coca Castle is built of brick, laid in a smooth surface so that the mortar layers and lines of brickwork are equally emphasized, creating a decorative surface pattern. The bricks used in the construction of Castillo de Coca are different from regular bricks as they are hardened to withstand enemy onslaught. Geometrical patterns featured in the castle are a hybrid of Moorish Muslim and Christian Gothic architecture. The defense system of the castle features three tiers consisting of wall circuits enclosed within a moat and a central keep. It also have rectangular towers on the corners of the walls. The battlements on the walls have been constructed as both ornament and as defensive fortifications. There are several rooms in Coca Castle that are open for tourists including the chapel and Weapons room.
An amazing castle in the heart of Spain. Constructed in the 15th century and has been considered to be one of the best examples of Spanish Mudejar brickwork which incorporates Moorish Muslim design and construction with Gothic architecture. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be near.
Veri nice visit, one of the latest castles to be built in the old style before artillery made them obsolete, the visit is guided and fun with many historical facts. The views from the top are fantastic. The weapons in the exposition are a few but interesting.
Largely unaccessible, the inside is a school for state workers though the exterior grounds within the walls is accessible. There's been a lot of repair to the exterior, so it is in reasonable good condition, though the authenticity of the architecture detail is questionable because of the extensive repair-which is clearly ongoing and not at all, shall I say, original. I do recommend it because it is a fun experience to roam around the interior wall.
