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.

The 1st century Roman road and two bridges (thesecond was destroyed in the 16th century after flooding in the Ribeira de Loriga) connected theoutpost of Lorica to the rest of their Lusitanian province. The São Ginês' neighbouhood (SãoGens), a local ex-libris, is the location of the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Carmo, an ancientVisigothic chapel.Middle AgesLoriga 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 KingManuel I).Loriga was an ecclesiastical parish of the vicarage of the Royal Padroado and its Matriz Churchwas ordered to construct in 1233, by King Sancho II. This church, was to the invocation of SantaMaria Maior, and constructed over the ancient small Visigothic chapel (there is a lateral blockwith Visigoth inscriptions visible). Constructed in the Romanesque-style it consists of a threenavebuilding, with hints of the Old Cathedral of Coimbra. This structure was destroyed duringthe 1755 earthquake, and only portions of the lateral walls were preserved.MonarchyThe 1755 earthquake resulted in significant damage to the town of Loriga, destroying homesand the parochial residence, in addition to opening-up cracks and faults in the town's largerbuildings, such as the historic municipal council hall (constructed in the 13th century). Anemissary of the Marquess of Pombal visited Loriga to evaluate the damage (something that didnot happen in other nearby biggest parishes, like Covilhã) and provide support.The residents of Loriga supported the Asolutionist forces of the Infante Miguel of Portugalagainst the Liberals, during the Portuguese Liberal Wars. It ceased to be the seat of amunicipality in 1855 after the application of a territorial planning carried out during the XIXcentury, interestingly the same plan that gave rise to the Districts.At the time of its municipal demise (October 1855), the municipality of Loriga included theparishes of Alvoco da Serra, Cabeça, Sazes da Beira, Teixeira, Valezim and Vide, as well as thirtyother disincorporated villages.Loriga was an industrial centre for textile manufacturing during the 19th century. It was one of
3 of 4the few industrialized centres of the region, even supplanting Seia until the middle of the 20thcentury. 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, amongothers.

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. [3] 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; [3] it is 20 kilometres from Seia, 80
kilometres from Guarda and 300 kilometres from the
national capital (Lisbon). A main town 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 longitudinal 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 town, 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, bread-making,
commercial shops, restaurants and agricultural support services.
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 totally the parish limits.
