Ruins in general, as a fragment of architecture that existed earlier, are endowed with beauty and capable of housing sensations in the viewer, just like a piece of art. These are memory spaces, cultural heritage of a certain population and a means of learning through the image, placing the one who admires them as heir to that creation. The Fazenda Sao Bernardino, located on the banks of the Estrada Federal de Tinguá, in a rural area of the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, originally presented itself as a complete example of a Brazilian colonial farm, consisting of Casa Grande, Engenho and Senzala. Currently in bad conservation, after years of abandonment and exposure to bad weather, it has a great contemplative character, being admired and explored by the population exactly for its condition of ruins. The research aims to reaffirm the importance of intervention and use in preserving the cultural heritage Fazenda São Bernardino. After indepth studies of the object and its context, based on diverse bibliographical research, it is proposed an intervention on the site of the Fazenda São Bernardino ruins and recommendations for preservation of the surrounding area that refers to the imperial palms pass. The proposed project focuses on the consolidation of the ruins of the ensemble, and also the construction of a new architecture to support the visitation, which is a necessary element for the sustainability and preservation of the heritage.
