Barbacena is a place and a former municipality ( Freguesia ) in the Portuguese district of Elvas . The community had 662 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011).
On September 29, 2013, the municipalities of Barbacena and Vila Fernando were merged to form the new municipality of União das Freguesias de Barbacena e Vila Fernando . Barbacena is the seat of this newly formed community.
The Anta da Coutada de Barbacena is about 3.5 km west of Barbacena, on a hill south of the Barbacena-Monforte road in a quarry. The southern half of the seven-stone chamber, with the capstone, and two of the northern gangestones have been preserved. According to Georg Leisner and Vera Leisner , the granite used does not come from the site.
