The Bahia Portuguese Reading Cabinet (GPLBA) is a historic institution, founded in 1863, housed in a neo-Manueline building since 1918. The GPLBA houses a significant collection that reflects Portuguese-Brazilian history, playing a central role in the preservation of Portuguese culture in Brazil. This article aims to prove the importance of the material and symbolic presence of Luís de Camões in the GPLBA, the analysis of the constitution of the collection, the challenges faced in the conservation of Camões’ legacy, the celebrations surrounding the poet, in a space that also functions as cultural exchange between Brazil and Portugal, demonstrating that its relevance goes beyond preservation as material heritage.
