![The Castle of Coca, located in the municipality of Coca in central Spain, stands as a prime example of 15th-century Spanish Mudejar brickwork, which beautifully merges Moorish Muslim design with Gothic architecture. 🏰🇪🇸
Renowned for its architectural grandeur, the castle features double walls that are 2.5 meters thick, encircled by a deep, dry moat. The structure consists of two square baileys separated by a passageway, each adorned with polygonal towers at the corners. Due to its splendid design and aesthetic appeal, the castle served more as a palace than a fortress, highlighting its importance and elegance during its time.
