You’ll find Castillo de Coca in Segovia in Central Spain.  This castle was constructed in the 1400s.  Travel experts report that it is perhaps one of the very best examples of old Spanish Mudejar brickwork.  The bricks that were used in building Castillo de Coca are significantly different than normal bricks in that they are actually hardened to better withstand an enemy onslaught.
