The progress of development projects thus becomes a matter of debate as inescapable merit attention, as these projects may raise respect for this heritage, and the break and even the dismantling of the testimonies of the past. This paper focuses precisely on this issue. Of a synthetic overview of some examples of permanence without interventions, stays with maintenance, and the stays with changes that lead to drastic transformation with the loss that this entails.
