ESPAÇO QUE ACOLHE: Centro Cultural e Memorial Francisco de Paula Victor

Abstract

Religious tourism has shown itself to be increasingly relevant in Brazil and in the world, and the city of Três Pontas (MG) is no different. The city is known mainly by Blessed Priest Victor. In his honor more than 60 thousand people pass through the city annually. However, it was noticed that they only frequent the city in the middle of september, where the anniversary of the death of the Blessed is celebrated. Through bibliographic research by authors dealing with subjects related to the city and religious tourism, in addition to interviews and diagnoses raised in the municipality, it was possible to understand the reasons why this problem occurs. Thinking about expanding religious tourism in Três Pontas, and with that providing reception for the faithful of Priest Victor, the objective of this work is to develop a project of a Memorial dedicated to the Blessed. Thus, design a space that provides affective experience and various activities throughout the year.
