ANNOTAZIONI
Foto sup 2315, verso del supporto secondario: nota anonima manoscritta: "Coca. / The castle of Coca is 24 miles from Segovia and about the same distance from Medina del Campo. / Its castle is a superb specimen of a castilian medioeval palace fortress. It is now the property of / the dukes of Alba. Observe the prospecting balistaria (bartizans), the angular towers or torress of the great / donjon keep. The grand towers rise like those of the Alcazar of Segovia. / This strong castle was quite perfect and used as a state prison until the French reduced it to its present ruin".
