Coca Attractions
The little town of Coca lies amid extensive pine forests at the junction of the Río Eresma and Río Voltoya. It was originally a settlement of an Iberian tribe, the Vaccaei, and was known to the Romans as Cauca. It was the birthplace in A.D. 347 of Theodosius I, who became East Roman Emperor in 379 and in 394 reunited the Empire and made Christianity the state religion. In its magnificent Castillo de Fonseca the town has a unique example of a castle in Mudéjar style.
