History

That it was an ancient population center is attested by the numerous traces of human settlement dating from prehistory.

Along the Atienza road, before crossing the river, there are cisterns, foundations and excavations in the reddish sandstone which is typical of this part of Castile and is relatively easily worked.

Between the town and the hermitage of Barconcitos, a section of an excavated road can be seen cut into the sandstone. It is said that in some houses there can also be found cellars and caves as well as passages that nobody knows yet where they lead.

Following the Reconquista, Barcones belonged to the extensive Alfoz (municipality) of Atienza and later to the Senorio de Paredes.

At the fall of the Antiguo Régimen the town was constituted as a municipality in the region of Castilla la Vieja which, in the 1842 census, had 171 homes and 524 residents.

Monuments

En la localidad hay una iglesia bajo la advocación de San Miguel Arcángel, con restos góticos y románicos. Lamentablemente fue víctima de un incendio en el siglo XIX y fue reconstruida, por lo que solo queda de la original la caja muraria y la parte superior de la portada. En el muro norte se distingue la altura del primitivo edificio por la línea de canecillos que se quedó incrustada. El órgano todavía está en buen uso, pero lo más difícil es encontrar organista.

Quedan restos de tres atalayas musulmanas que vigilaban la entrada a la alcazaba de Atienza desde el Valle del Escalote. Una de ellas (Valdelatorre) se conserva bastante bien hasta una altura de cinco metros; las otras dos han sido peor tratadas por el tiempo.

Hay un casona que perteneció a los Gamboa, terratenientes que todavía tienen grandes propiedades por la zona.
