In these times when the word preservation is so prevalent, especially regarding environmental and sustainability, zeal for architectural heritage has an emphasis on the consciousness of society, once it is who records the shape of the city over time, as well as it recalls and perpetuates the history and customs of the place. In this research, we performed an exploratory study aiming to explicit reflexions about the role of heritage education as a possibility for citizens (re) to know the local architectural heritage besides creating looks that seek and appreciate its safeguard and maintenance. It points to the increased potential in the citizens' identification and belonging feelings about the place where they were born and/or live in.
