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.
