Coca

Coca, a charming municipality nestled in the heart of the province of Segovia, is steeped in rich history and vibrant culture. Located just 50 kilometers northwest of Segovia, this town captures the essence of medieval Spain, being the birthplace of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I in 347 CE. The majestic Castillo de Coca, a resplendent 15th-century Mudéjar-style castle, stands as a testament to the town's glorious past. As you stroll through its cobbled streets, you can almost hear the echoes of the Jewish community that once thrived here before the expulsion in 1492. The beauty of this town is magnified by its lush pine forests and significant historical landmarks like the Santa María la Mayor church and the Tower of San Nicolás.
