Broadly speaking, we may say that heritage relates to the way a society appropriates the past. In contemporary times, heritage has the propensity to be seen through its use as a cultural, political and economic resource. It is in this context, marked by the urge to preserve the marks of the past with meaning and significance for different communities, that the present investigation is developed. This essay seeks to examine the ways in which the heritagization process contributes to the production of space and its appropriation by the population, giving it a sense of place. For the development of this work, the chosen area of study was the neighborhood of Santa Maria de Belém-Lisbon. In order to examine how the phenomenon of heritagization reflects itself in the appropriations of Belém, an ethnographic-oriented research was conducted, using qualitative research methods. In this sense, the research is based on semi-structured interviews and participant observation. Through the survey, it was possible to identify the most significant spaces in the neighborhood life of respondents who seek to maintain their traditional customs and practices, while new habits and experiences have been created by the heritagization processes and the touristification of the place
