Richia or Richeia?
Many wonder whether the correct name is “Richia” or “Richeia,” based on tradition and the area’s geographic features. The name “Richia” is considered more accurate, as it relates to the word “richos” (shallow), suggesting the flat or shallow relief of the terrain, which matches the geomorphology of the area.
Origin
and History of the Name
The word “richos,” from which it derives, reflects the gentle landscape of the area, with fewer elevation changes and direct access to natural scenery that retains its authentic beauty.
The Folklore Museum, open during the summer months, offers a glimpse into the agricultural and pastoral life of the area’s past residents. It displays household items, traditional clothing, and other objects that keep the village’s history alive.
