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!

When the Romans arrived in the region, the settlementwas concentrated into two areas. The larger, older andprincipal agglomeration was situated in the area of themain church and Rua de Viriato, fortified with a walland palisade. [3] The second group, in the Bairro de SãoGinês, were some small homes constructed on the rockypromintory, which were later appropriated by theVisigoths in order to construct a chapel.

[3] The barrio of São Ginês (São Gens), a local ex-libris, is the location of thechapel of Nossa Senhora do Carmo, an ancient Visigothic chapel. São Gens, a Celtic saint, martyred in Arles na Gália,during the reign of Emperor Diocletian, and over time the locals began to refer to this saint as São Ginês, due to itseasy of pronunciation. [3]Middle AgesLoriga was the municipal seat since the 12th century, receiving forals in 1136 (João Rhânia, master of the Terras deLoriga for over two decades, during the reign of Afonso Henriques), 1249 (during the reign of Afonso III), 1474 (underKing Afonso V) and finally in 1514 (by King Manuel I).

This structure wasdestroyed during the 1755 earthquake, and only portions of the lateral walls were preserved. [3]MonarchyThe 1755 earthquake resulted in significant damage to the town of Loriga, destroying homes and the parcochialresidence, in addition to opening-up cracks and faults in the town's larger buildings, such as the historic municipalcouncil hall (constructed in the 13th century). [3] An emissary of the Marquess of Pombal actually visited Loriga toevaluate the damage (something that did not happen in other mountainous parishes, even Covilhã) and providesupport. [3]The residents of Loriga supported the Asolutionist forces of the Infante Miguel of Portugal against the Liberals, duringthe Portuguese Liberal Wars, which resulted in Loriga being abandoned politically after Miguel's expulsion by hisbrother King Peter. [3] In 1855, as a consequence of its support, it was stripped of municipal status during themunicipal reforms of the 19th century. [3] At the time of its municipal demise (October 1855), the municipality of Lorigaincluded the parishes of Alvoco da Serra, Cabeça, Sazes da Beira, Teixeira, Valezim and Vide, as well as thirty otherdisincorporated villages. [3]Loriga was an industrial centre for textile manufacturing during the 19th century. It was one of the few industrializedcentres in the Beira Interior region, even supplanting Seia until the middle of the 20th century. [3] Only Covilhã outperformedLoriga in terms of businesses operating from its lands; companies such as Regato, Redondinha, Fonte dosAmores, Tapadas, Fândega, Leitão & Irmãos, Augusto Luís Mendes, Lamas, Nunes Brito, Moura Cabral andLorimalhas, among others. [3] The main roadway in Loriga, Avenida Augusto Luís Mendes, is named for one of thevillages 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. [3]

History

Loriga

The remaining Roman-era bridge

crossing the Ribeira de Loriga

Loriga was founded along a column between ravines

where today the historic centre exists. The site was

ostensibly selected more than 2600 years ago, owing to

its defensibility, the abundance of potable water and

pasturelands, and lowlands that provided conditions to

practice both hunting and gathering/agriculture. [3]
