About
The town of Coca in the province of Segovia, central Spain, holds significant archaeological interest primarily due to the presence of the Castillo de Coca, a 15th-century Mudéjar-style castle. This castle represents an important architectural feature from the Late Post-Classical Period, illustrating the blend of Gothic and Islamic art styles that characterized Mudéjar architecture during this era. Additionally, Coca is historically notable as the birthplace of Roman Emperor Theodosius I in 347 CE. The town also had a thriving Jewish community until their expulsion in 1492 CE. Coca's historical narrative is enriched by these cultural and architectural elements, offering insights into the region's medieval past and its socio-political dynamics over centuries.
