The Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Reciferental-income logics and conservation of its heritage assets

Resumo

The Santa Casa de Misericórdia, a charitable institution established in Portugal in1498, contributed, in the 16th century, to the first urban formations of colonial Brazil. When we were conducting research (2012 to 2016) on the real estate market in the Historic Center of Recife (HCR), we were surprisedby the large amount of real estate rented from the Santa Casa de Misericórdia in Recife. This prompted us toascertain its role as a real estate agent and the implications on the conservation of its heritage assets. Thereforean analysis was made of how its assets were formed – tributes received as donations/bequests of the faithful forthe salvation of the soul, of its rentier logic and of the relationship between the profitability of its properties andthe state of conservation of its heritage assets in the HCR.
