description This text presents two successful cases of urban development supported by a strong presence of built inheritance, which has led to the creation of places of memory with an almost allegorical role. The first part of the text questions the inevitability of referencing a mythical space regarding Palmyra and the sequence of events that took place there. The Moroccan cities of Assilah and El Jadida are then presented as cases of the deliberate integration of heritage legacies -the built heritage of the Portuguese presence in the past- to support contemporary development that requires a historical existence and the ability to refer to a myth of the past. After questioning the appropriateness of imagining built heritage as a kind of actor able to catalyse the imaginary to interact with the surrounding space and society, the text sets out the two heritagization processes of these towns re-planned at the end of the twentieth century, recovering the archaeological sites with private and public strategies.
