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.

A bridge over a ravine in Loriga, withthe pastures of the valley landscapeKnown locally as the "Portuguese Switzerland" due to itslandscape that includes a principal settlement nestled in themountains of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park. [3] It is locatedin the south-central part of the municipality of Seia, along thesoutheast part of the Serra, between several ravines, butspecifically the Ribeira de São Bento and Ribeira de Loriga; [3]it is 20 kilometres from Seia, 80 kilometres from Guarda and300 kilometres from the national capital (Lisbon). A maintown is accessible by the national roadway E.N. 231, thatconnects directly to the region of the Serra da Estrela by way ofE.N.338 (which was completed in 2006), or through theE.N.339, a 9.2 kilometre access that transits some of the mainelevations (960 metres near Portela do Arão or Portela deLoriga, and 1650 metres around the Lagoa Comprida).The region is carved by U-shaped glacial valleys, modelled by the movement of ancient glaciers. Themain valley, Vale de Loriga was carved by longitudinal abrasion that also created rounded pockets,where the glacial resistance was minor. Starting at an altitude of 1991 metres along the Serra daEstrela the valley descends abruptly until 290 metres above sea level (around Vide), passing villagessuch as Cabeça, Casal do Rei and Muro. The central town, Loriga, is seven kilometres from Torre (thehighest point), but the parish is sculpted by cliffs, alluvial plains and glacial lakes deposited duringmillennia of glacial erosion, and surrounded by rare ancient forest that surrounded the lateral flanksof these glaciers.EconomyTextiles are the principal local export; Loriga was a hub thetextile and wool industries during the beginning-19th century,in addition to being subsistence agriculture responsible for thecultivation of corn. The Loriguense economy is based onmetallurgical industries, bread-making, commercial shops,restaurants and agricultural support services.Vodafone Ski Resort, Serra da Estrela,in the town of Loriga.While that textile industry has since dissipated, the town beganto attract a tourist trade due to its proximity to the Serra daEstrela and Vodafone Ski Resort (the only ski center inPortugal), which was constructed totally the parish limits.References1.

Santa Maria Maior
Roman road and two bridges (the second was destroyed in the 16th century after flooding in the
Ribeira de São Bento) connected the outpost of Lorica to the rest of their Lusitanian province. The
São Ginês' neighbouhood (São Gens), a local ex-libris, is the location of the chapel of Nossa Senhora
do Carmo, an ancient Visigothic chapel.
Middle Ages
Loriga was the municipal seat since the 12th century, receiving Forals in 1136 (João Rhânia, master of
the Terras de Loriga for over two decades, during the reign of Afonso Henriques), 1249 (during the
reign of Afonso III), 1474 (under King Afonso V) and finally in 1514 (by King Manuel I).
Loriga was an ecclesiastical parish of the vicarage of the Royal Padroado and its Matriz Church was
ordered to construct in 1233, by King Sancho II. This church, was to the invocation of Santa Maria
Maior, and constructed over the ancient small Visigothic chapel (there is a lateral block with Visigoth
inscriptions visible). Constructed in the Romanesque-style it consists of a three-nave building, with
hints of the Old Cathedral of Coimbra. This structure was destroyed during the 1755 earthquake, and
only portions of the lateral walls were preserved.
Monarchy
The 1755 earthquake resulted in significant damage to the town of Loriga, destroying homes and the
parochial residence, in addition to opening-up cracks and faults in the town's larger buildings, such
as the historic municipal council hall (constructed in the 13th century). An emissary of the Marquess
of Pombal visited Loriga to evaluate the damage (something that did not happen in other nearby
biggest parishes, like Covilhã) and provide support.
The residents of Loriga supported the Asolutionist forces of the Infante Miguel of Portugal against the
Liberals, during the Portuguese Liberal Wars. It ceased to be the seat of a municipality in 1855 after
the application of a territorial planning carried out during the XIX century, interestingly the same
plan that gave rise to the Districts.
At the time of its municipal demise (October 1855), the municipality of Loriga included the parishes
of Alvoco da Serra, Cabeça, Sazes da Beira, Teixeira, Valezim and Vide, as well as thirty other
disincorporated villages.
Loriga was an industrial centre for textile manufacturing during the 19th century. It was one of the
few industrialized centres of the region, even supplanting Seia until the middle of the 20th century.
Only Covilhã out-performed Loriga in terms of businesses operating from its lands; companies such
as Regato, Redondinha, Fonte dos Amores, Tapadas, Fândega, Leitão & Irmãos, Augusto Luís
Mendes, Lamas, Nunes Brito, Moura Cabral and Lorimalhas, among others. The main roadway in
Loriga, Avenida Augusto Luís Mendes, is named for one of the villages most illustrious industrialists.
The wool industry started to decline during the last decades of the 20th century, a factor that
aggravated and accelerated the decline of the region.
