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!

Ginês, were some small homes constructed on the rockypromintory, which were later appropriated by theVisigoths in order to construct a chapel. [1] The 1stcentury Roman road and two bridges (the second wasdestroyed in the 17th century after flooding) connectedthe outpost of Lorica to the rest of their Lusitanianprovince. [1] The barrio of São Ginês (São Gens), a localex-libris, is the location of the chapel of Nossa Senhorado Carmo, an ancient Visigothic chapel.

[1]Middle AgesLoriga was the municipal seat since the 12th century, receiving forals in 1136 (João Rhânia, master of theTerras de Loriga for over two decades, during the reign of Afonso Henriques), 1249 (during the reign ofAfonso III), 1474 (under King Afonso V) and finally in 1514 (by King Manuel I). [1]Loriga was an ecclesiastical parish of the vicarage of the Royal Padroado and its Matriz Church was orderedconstructed in 1233, by King Sancho II. [1] This church, was to the invokation of Santa Maria Maior, andconstructed over the ancient small Visigothic chapel (there is a lateral block with Visigoth inscriptionsvisible). [1] Constructed in the Romanesque-style it consists of a three-nave building, with hints of the Sé Velhaof Coimbra. This structure was destroyed during the 1755 earthquake, and only portions of the lateral wallswere preserved. [1]MonarchyThe 1755 earthquake resulted in significant damage to the village of Loriga, destroying homes and theparcochial residence, in addition to opening-up cracks and faults in the village's larger buildings, such as thehistoric municipal council hall (constructed in the 13th century). [1] An emissary of the Marquess of Pombalactually visited Loriga to evaluate the damage (something that did not happen in other mountainous parishes,even Covilhã) and provide support. [1]The residents of Loriga supported the Asolutionist forces of the Infante Miguel of Portugal against the Liberals,during the Portuguese Liberal Wars, which resulted in Loriga being abandoned politically after Miguel'sexplusion by his brother King Peter. [1] In 1855, as a consequence of its support, it was stripped of municipalstatus during the municipal reforms of the 19th century. [1] 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, Valezimand Vide, as well as thirty other disincorporated villages. [1]Loriga was an industrial centre for textile manufacturing during the 19th century. It was one of the fewindustrialized centres in the Beira Interior region, even supplanting Seia until the middle of the 20th century. [1]Only Covilhã out-preformed 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, NunesBrito, Moura Cabral and Lorimalhas, among others. [1] The main roadway in Loriga, Avenida Augusto LuísMendes, is named for one of the villages most illustrious industrialists. The wool industry started to declineduring the last decades of the 20th century, a factor that aggravated and accelerated the decline of the region. [1]Geography

A bridge over a ravine in Loriga, with
the pastures of the valley landscape
Known locally as the "Portuguese Switzerland" due to its landscape
that includes a principal settlement nestled in the mountains of the
Serra da Estrela Natural Park. [2] It is located in the south-central part
of the municipality of Seia, along the southeast part of the Serra,
between several ravines, but specifically the Ribeira de São Bento
and Ribeira da Nave; [2] it is 20 kilometres from Seia, 80 kilometres
from Guarda and 300 kilometres from the national capital (Lisbon). A
main village is accessible by the national roadway E.N. 231, that
connects directly to the region of the Serra da Estrela by way of
E.N.338 (which was completed in 2006), or through the E.N.339, a
9.2 kilometre access that transits some of the main elevations (960
metres near Portela do Arão or Portela de Loriga, and 1650 metres
around the Lagoa Comprida).
The region is carved by U-shaped glacial valleys, modelled by the movement of ancient glaciers. The main
valley, Vale de Loriga was carved by longitudanal abrasion that also created rounded pockets, where the glacial
resistance was minor. Starting at an altitude of 1991 metres along the Serra da Estrela the valley descends
abruptly until 290 metres above sea level (around Vide), passing villages such as Cabeça, Casal do Rei and
Muro. The central village, Loriga, is seven kilometres from Torre (the highest point), but the parish is sculpted
by cliffs, alluvial plains and glacial lakes deposited during millennia of glacial erosion, and surrounded by rare
ancient forest that surrounded the lateral flanks of these glaciers.
Economy
Textiles are the principal local export; Loriga was a hub the textile
and wool industries during the mid-19th century, in addition to being
subsistence agriculture responsible for the cultivation of corn. The
Loriguense economy is based on metallurgical industries, breadmaking,
commercial shops, restaurants and agricultural support
services.
Vodafone Ski Resort, Serra da Estrela,
in Loriga.
While that textile industry has since dissipated, the town began to
attract a tourist trade due to its proximity to the Serra da Estrela and
Vodafone Ski Resort (the only ski center in Portugal), which was
constructed within the parish limits.
