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!

lembrando a Sé Velha de Coimbra, esta igreja foi destruída pelo sismo de 1755,

dela restando apenas partes das paredes laterais.

O sismo de 1755 provocou enormes estragos na vila, tendo arruinado também a

residência paroquial e aberto algumas fendas nas robustas e espessas paredes do

edifício da Câmara Municipal construído no século XIII. Um emissário do

Marquês de 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

Fontanário em Loriga.

Loriga é uma vila industrial (têxtil) desde a primeira metade do século XIX, no entanto essa atividade já existia no

século XIV em modo artesanal. Chegou a ser uma das localidades mais industrializadas da Beira Interior, e a actual

sede de concelho só conseguiu suplantá-la 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 Loriga, com dois mil anos, o facto é que os loriguenses transformaram Loriga numa vila industrial.

Porém, partir da segunda metade do século XIX, tornou-se um dos principais

pólos industriais da Beira Alta, com o desenvolvimento da indústria dos lanifícios,

que entrou em declínio durante durante a última década do século passado o que

está a levar à desertificação da Vila, facto que afecta de maneira geral as regiões

interiores de Portugal. Actualmente a economia loriguense baseia-se nas

indústrias metalúrgica e de panificação, no comércio, restauração, alguma

agricultura e pastorícia.

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, destacam-se 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, a Rua de Viriato e a Rua da Oliveira.

A estrada romana e uma das duas pontes (a outra ruiu no século XVI após uma grande cheia na Ribeira de São Bento),

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 escadaria tem cerca de 80 degraus em granito, o

que lhe dá características peculiares. Esta rua recorda muitas das características urbanas medievais. 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,
