Coca Castle is located in the region of Castilla y Leon, home of the famous capital city of Segovia. If you visited Segovia city, you must have been impressed by the incredible architecture of the iconic Aqueduct and the Alcazar Castle, but there is much more to discover in the province of Segovia. Coca Castle, just 45 Km. from the capital, was built on the site of ancient Cauca, the birthplace of the Roman emperor Theodosius. This castle is a magnificent example of a late medieval castle–palace with a mixture of western and Moorish military architecture.
