Patrimônio urbano e religiosidade : a devoção franciscana em um itinerário cultural pelo Largo da Carioca (RJ)

Abstract

This present study aims to present its central theme the use of heritage education, based on the proposal of a field lesson in what we call Franciscan architectural complex, composed of the Church and Convent of Santo Antônio and the Church of Ordem Terceira de São Francisco da Penitência, located in Largo da Carioca, Centro/RJ. In this sense, this research addresses the challenges of integrating the use of heritage education methodology with the teaching of history; and the concepts of places of memory and local history; with the intention of providing high school students with an experience with this public place that allows them to understand the process of occupation of the urban space, exercise their citizenship and develop a greater appreciation of the historical, artistic and religious heritage present in the place, with emphasis on the Franciscan devotions of medieval origin. As part of this dissertation, the research also included readings in the areas of history of the Middle Ages, history of Brazil (Colony and Empire) and history of the Franciscan movement.
