In 1043, Ramon Berenguer the 1st bestowed Conesa to Bernat Seniofred, on condition that the latter would build a fortress, cultivate the soil and turn out the infidels of his estate. One half was given as a fief and the other as a freehold. Around 1073 the castle had already been built and was surrounded by a small village.

In 1120, Ramon de Cervera was the Lord of Conesa. Although Bernat de Conesa (he probably was a descendant from the Seniofred family) had some rights over the place.

During the 13th century, the domain got under the counts' authority who gave it to the Cervera family as a fief, and to the Vallclara-Conesa and Montpaó families as a manor.

From the Cervera's the domain passed to the Guardialada family that years later transferred their rights to the Order of the El Sant Hospital and to the Cervelló family.

King Pere the 2nd regained jurisdiction that the Order of the El Sant Hospital had over Conesa and in 1285 gave the Montpaó manor to the monastery of Santes Creus that had jurisdiction over it until 1835.

Even though in the 14th century, the number of inhabitants increased and consolidated , in the next century the devastating epidemics and the war against Joan the 2nd diminished the population.

In the following centuries, just like the rest of the villages in the region, Conesa suffered from the constant fights. During the first half of the 17th century it is worth mentioning the special protection given to the village by the Abbot of Santes Creus, Fra Jeroni Contijoch, native of Conesa.

Other important incidents were the disentailment of 1835 and the cholera epidemic that devastated the place.
