History of Loriga - History of Loriga by the historian António Conde on Wikipedia

History of Loriga - Wikipedia article created by the historian António Conde. The efficient, though discreet, research and dissemination work that the historian and our great loriguense António Conde has been doing for decades, has borne many fruits, and much of the information about Loriga released there is due to the initiative of this great Loriguense. This great Loriguense researches the history of Loriga for about 30 years, at the expense of much sacrifice and many personal expenses, creating a rich work, which can be read extracts on many sites, including articles on Loriga in English and Portuguese that he created on Wikipedia. António Conde acts, does, criticizes what is badly always presenting solutions, loves his land passionately and is allergic to hypocrisy and vanity fairs. This article was vandalized with the main objectives of introducing an illegal and non-representative “coat of arms” of Loriga, and erasing from the sources the author of this article because he opposes for this illegality to affect the image of this town and of the own Wikipedia. However the illegal heraldic aberration was finally removed from the article in 2017, failing to restore in the sources the links that point to the author of the same and correct the other errors introduced. This edition has already been reversed to hide the truth, which in fact has happened more than ten years. History of Loriga, excerpts from the work of the historian António Conde on Wikipedia . The vandals, the ones who deliberately and insistently put up mistakes and lies, were challenged to prove the origin of the historical data found in the Wikipedia article created by António Conde, and we can all sit around because only the one who did the research can say where got the data. It is hilarious that the vandals and who they support and promote, call into question historical data while claiming they have not been surveyed by António Conde. Decide once and for all; If the data is credible and the research is not from him who did it reveal the sources of the historical data, or if they are not credible delete them. Do not be jealous and mean, do not make sad figures, and stop harming the image of Loriga and the Loriguenses!

Pombal esteve em Loriga a avaliar os estragos mas, ao contrário do que aconteceu com a Covilhã (outra

localidade serrana muito afectada), não chegou do governo de Lisboa qualquer auxílio.

História posterior ao séc. XVIII

Loriga é uma vila industrial (têxtil) desde a primeira metade do século XIX. Chegou a ser uma das localidades

mais industrializadas da Beira Interior, e a actual sede de concelho só conseguiu suplantá­la já quase em

meados do século XX. Tempos houve em que só a Covilhã ultrapassava Loriga no número de empresas. Nomes

de empresas, tais como: Regato, Redondinha, Fonte dos Amores, Tapadas, Fândega, Leitão & Irmãos, Augusto

Luis Mendes, Lamas, Nunes Brito, Moura Cabral, Lorimalhas, etc, fazem parte da rica história industrial desta

vila. A principal e maior avenida de Loriga tem o nome de Augusto Luís Mendes, o mais destacado dos antigos

industriais loriguenses. Apesar dos maus acessos, que se resumiam à velhinha estrada romana de Lorica, com

dois mil anos, o facto é que os loriguenses transformaram Loriga numa progressiva vila industrial.

Largo do Pelourinho, vendo­se

o edificio da antiga Câmara

Municipal entretanto adaptado

a residência particular.

Porém, partir da segunda metade do século XIX, com com o grande

desenvolvimento da indústri têxtil , tornou­se um dos principais pólos

industriais da Beira Interior, que entrou em declínio durante a últimas décadas

do século passado o que está a levar à desertificação da Vila, facto que afecta

de maneira geral as regiões interiores de Portugal devido às inexistentes

politicas locais e nacionais de coesão territorial. Actualmente a economia

loriguense baseia­se nas indústrias metalúrgica e de panificação, alguma

indústria de malhas, no comércio, restauração, alguma agricultura e pastorícia.

A área onde existem as actuais freguesias de Alvoco da Serra, Cabeça, Sazes

da Beira, Teixeira, Valezim, Vide, e as mais de trinta povoações anexas,

pertenceu ao município loriguense.

A área que englobava o extinto município loriguense, constitui também a

Associação de Freguesias da Serra da Estrela, com sede em Loriga.

Loriga e a sua região possuem enormes potencialidades turísticas e as únicas pistas e estância de esqui

existentes em Portugal estão localizadas na Serra da Estrela, dentro da área da freguesia de Loriga.

Património de destaque

Em termos de património histórico, destacam­se a ponte e a estrada romanas

(século I a.C.), uma sepultura antropomórfica (século VI a.C.) chamada

popularmente de "caixão da moura", a Igreja Matriz (século XIII,

reconstruída), o Pelourinho (século XIII, reconstruído), o bairro de São Ginês

(São Gens), a Rua de Viriato e a Rua da Oliveira.

A estrada romana sobre a Ribeira de Loriga (a outra sobre a Ribeira de São

Bento ruiu no século XVI após uma grande cheia, tendo sido construída outra

também em pedra nos finais do século XIX), com as quais os romanos ligaram

Lorica, na Lusitânia, ao restante império, merecem destaque.

A rua da Oliveira é uma rua situada no centro histórico da vila. A sua

Rua da Oliveira

escadaria tem cerca de 80 degraus em granito, o que lhe dá características

peculiares. Esta rua recorda muitas das características urbanas medievais desta vila histórica. O bairro de São

Ginês é um bairro do centro histórico de Loriga cujas características o tornam num dos bairros mais típicos da

vila. Curioso é o facto de este bairro dever o nome a São Gens, um santo de origem céltica martirizado em

Arles, na Gália, no tempo do imperador Diocleciano, orago de uma ermida visigótica situada na área, no local

onde hoje está a capela de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Com o passar dos séculos os loriguenses deixaram
