Castle of Coca

Rotonda Castillo, Coca, Castilla y León

Description

The Castle of Coca was constructed with bricks in the 15th century and blends Mudejar and Gothic influences. It is fortified by a deep moat and a central keep but, unusually, was not built on a hilltop. Nowadays, it houses a school of forestry with several rooms open to visitors such as the chapel, the central keep (25m high tower), and the weapons room.

Access & Transport

The castle is at the edge of the village of Coca, in the northwest of the province of Segovia. By road, it is 55km to the town of Segovia (CL-605 / SG-342) and 60km to the city of Valladolid (N-601/VP-1105 in Olmedo)

Instructions & Recommendations

Our researches indicate that self-guided admission is free and the price reflected in the Practical Info section is that of the guided visits.

Meta review

Not a very busy tourist sight, but that is certainly not because of the exterior look that draws unanimous praise from online reviewers. The interior however is described as being somewhat bland and there are recurring comments that the inner and outer perimeters are not well kept.

Environmental & Social

Environmentally neutral and preserves the region's architectural heritage. Tourism also brings revenues to the village

Conclusion

The Castillo de Coca has a very distinctive profile that warrants a detour for those in the Segovia or Valladolid area. The exterior look is the most interesting part and it is a good ground to try out your photography skills.

Key positive

Impressive example of Mudejar brickwork architecture

Not busy and free entrance

Key negative

Not well managed from a tourism standpoint

Suitability

Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility except for the tower
