ABSTRACT. The most tangible register of a civilizations evolution is the heritage it preserves over the
years. It is a vehicle for the transmission of peoples memory and culture. Although the city of Maringa in
the state of Paran, Brazil, is just 66 years old, it has several important buildings within its urban context
whose preservation is not guaranteed by law. In fact, they are in danger of disappearing amid the citys fast
growth. Current research, surveying the preservation state of historical buildings in the municipality, is
based on published studies, research at the City Hall, reports by the Historical Heritage Commission and
in loco visits, with special emphasis on the Cathedral of the Assumption, the citys symbol, whose
preservation is still not legally guaranteed. The history of the building of the Cathedral, its most relevant
external and internal architectonic features and its furniture for future inventories are focused. Current
study raised the historic deployment of the Cathedral, its most relevant architectural features, both exterior
and interior, including some of its details, to serve as a basis for inventories for future legal registrations and
interventions.
Keywords: historical interest, inventory, city symbol.
