In recent studies aimed at developing the pilot project "Cultural Itinerary of the Region of the Jesuit-Guarani Missions", concepts and strategies for new categories of cultural property proposed by UNESCO were discussed. Among the newer categories, those of cultural landscapes and cultural routes were included. The area under study -- the missionary town of San Borja, Brazil -- stands out in the region as having a diversity of cultural goods that represent important historical moments in the Brazilian scene and express their meanings across landscapes. The main objective of this study is to examine the city as a territorial space of production, intervention, and cultural exchanges, focusing on the analysis of the construction of identities and their influence in the transformation of urban territories. For this purpose, the authors have used cultural landscapes as a research tool, leading to a critical interpretation to the urban spatio-temporal scenery.
