Presentation

The research deals with the importance of analyzing comparatively appropriation forms of historical spaces restored in cities whose culture and morphology exhibit similarities, due to their historic colonial relation. The iconographic research and conduction of interviews in Coimbra had for aim drawing a parallel between the handling of preserved areas in the inaugural neighbourhood of the city of Belém do Pará (Brazil) and in the historical Centre of a Portuguese city. In this manner, an intramural area of Almedina (Coimbra) and the region around the Complexo Feliz Lusitânia (Belém) was chosen with the objective of detecting the perceptions of the resident population and the characters involved in the revitalization operations. We call attention to the analysis of the repercussion of the interventions in the everyday life of these “localities of memory”.
