History

The hamlet of Cifuentes celebrated fairs since the 13th century, complaints from Atienza notwithstanding. The market generated economic prosperity, and received privileges from the Crown in 1242. Segregated from the Common of Atienza to which it hitherto belonged to, Cifuentes was donated to Mayor Guillén de Guzmán circa 1255. Since 1431, the history of the place was linked to the House of Silva.
