The region has traces of human occupation since prehistoric times, having been occupied by different peoples and civilizations, as can be seen in Castro da Cola or Cidade de Marrachique, with traces of Neolithic occupation, and was also used later as a defensive fortification. The origin of the toponym may be due to ’Ouro’, due to the proximity of mineral explorations, or to ’Orik’, which comes from the Arabic word for disgrace or misfortune, following the Moorish defeat in the Battle of Ourique. In fact, Ourique is known for the famous Battle that took place in this domain, on the 25th of July 1139, when the Christian troops led by D. Afonso Henriques defeated the Muslims commanded by the governor of Santarém with great difficulty, proclaiming D. Afonso Henriques as the First King of Portugal, establishing Portuguese Nationality.’ #ref:PT02M-0222
