In these cities, history reconstructs the process whereby modern values were fixed in the backcountry. The purpose of this paper is to expose the context of analysis of Goiás’s heritage in relation to the colonial urbanization’s specificity in this Brazilian state, thus showing how their condition of negligence is the result of processes that can be contextualized in history. The permanence of heritage, however, is latent and does not express itself only through historical materialities maintained in urban space, but above all, by the symbolic practices that nurture this space.
