Castillo de Coca

This castle is amazing!! Something very special about it that is hard to describe. Walk around the periphery to take it all in. Unfortunately we didn’t make an interior tour but we would have enjoyed seeing the inside. Amazing construction and interesting history.

Amazing castle to stop by. free to check out the outside and surrounding moat and a low fee to check out the interior! Make sure to come in the morning or evening interior closed mid day

Amazing. One of the best stops on my Spanish trip.
I hired a car in Madrid and drove out to Coca to visit this stunning castle.
Not only was it visually incredible, but it was also fully accessible, I was able to walk the walls inside and out, explore the interior, and even climb up and out onto the roof.
If that's not amazing enough, I was able to do that was barely anyone else present as the castle is aittle off the beaten path.
The town of Coca is definitely worth a wander too, it's beautiful and historic - even scoring a mention in the Astrix and Obelisk comics.
Definitely one of my highlights!

It’s very well preserved castle from old times.
City itself has not much to offer, nearby are some nice cheap restaurants.
I do like castles so i am visiting various ones around.

Great experience, after the restore of 1956, the castle looks great and the inside rooms are worth visiting. Symbolic ticket, kind reception, see pictures.

A really interesting place to visit with information provided in English and an English speaking man on reception. It must be said that the stairs up the towers are challenging with large risers and no hand rails. But we are two 74 year old not particularly fit pensioners and we managed OK. It is really worth the effort.

Unbelievable place really worth the trip
One of the better castles in Spain in my opinion and sadly missed by many as they hurtle North - South on motorways. So worthwhile taking longer to make a trip and enjoy Spains best kept secret - it’s interior.

We went in a weekday and the place was almost for my wife and myself. Good views at the top of the castle.

Very beautiful surroundings and of course, the interior is astonishing.

This is the most special castle I have seen.

Beautifully landscaped patio and great beach!

One of the most awesome looking castle in Spain

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.

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 Mudejar 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.

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.

Could only see the outside, but...wow!

One of the most famous Castles in Spain, built by Muslim Architect and workers in a Mujedar style ; fantastic brickwork. Closes 1.30-4.30 pm approx but open mornings and late afternoon until about 7pm. Unable to visit rooms on visit due to arriving in siesta period. Very beautiful to view.
