Summary
A comprehensive study of the Historic Centre of São Luís reveals significant pathological manifestations in historic buildings due to inadequate maintenance. The research, focusing on the Secretaria de Cultura do Estado do Maranhão, identified critical areas requiring corrective and preventive interventions to preserve the structure's integrity and ensure public safety. Through bibliographic research, photographic documentation, and data analysis, the study mapped out key sectors affected by deterioration, providing actionable insights for conservation efforts. The findings underscore the urgent need for maintenance to protect a vital part of São Luís' historical and cultural heritage, which also serves as a major tourist attraction.
