قلعه کوکا قصر کوکا

قلعه کوکا. قصر/قلعه ای است با شکوه که در قرن پانزدهم م. برای مطران/اسقف اعظم اشبیلیه و دون آلونسو د فونسکای یکم، اسقف کوکا و ألیس، ساخته شد. این قلعه که به سبک معماری مدجنی با برجهای مستدیر متشکل از آجر سرخ و گچ در جریان قیام جوامع کاستیل علیه کارل پنجم ساخته شده خندقی عمیق در پیرامون دارد. گرچه بیشتر بعنوان قصری با شکوه استفاده می شده و برخوردار از ترکیبی از معماری نظامی غربی و موروئی است، امروز بیشتر قلعه اش دانند تا کاخ. نفشه کف چهار گوش است، با دیوارهائی بس مزین و فضای داخلی پر تکلف و اشرافی.

قس انگلیسی
It was built by the Archbishop of Seville and Don Alonso de Fonseca, lord of Coca and Alaejos. During the Revolt of the Comuneros, (when Castile rebelled against the king), it remained faithful to Charles V.
It is a mixture of western and Moorish military architecture, as can be seen from its decoration. It has a square ground plan, a moat and two walled enclosures, which gives it the air of impregnability for which it has been known over the centuries. The keep is located in the second area. It is made of brick and its walls are profusely decorated. The interior is very luxurious and lavish, and conserves its Mudejar decoration. Due to its great splendour, it was used more as a palace than as a fortress. It is one of the crowning works of the military Mudejar style.
