The general objective of this dissertation is to analyze the Real Forte Príncipe da Beira as a possibility for teaching History, as well as heritage education and the local history of Costa Marques, Rondônia, based on the elaboration of a proposal for a field class that can be carried out with high school students, in the interior of the state of Rondônia on the border with Bolivia. With the objective of constructing a historical-cultural itinerary for a field class in the ruins of the Real Forte Príncipe da Beira, in the municipality of Costa Marques - RO, this dissertation presents a study on the history of Rondônia as a captaincy of Mato Grosso, in the colonial period from the second half of the 18th century. The ruins, today listed by the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage/IPHAN, preserve characteristics of a time of intense disputes over colonial domains between the Portuguese and Spanish crowns on the western border of the captaincy of Mato Grosso. With a diverse bibliography on historiography, history teaching, local history, and heritage education, it was possible to explore the potential of the Real Forte Príncipe da Beira for teaching history and local history of Costa Marques, based on a field trip with a first-year high school class. I prepared a preparation plan for a field trip, which was transformed into a teaching material that we call a Pedagogical Product with the purpose of inspiring teachers and students from the basic education network to teach and learn local history. One of the objectives of the dissertation was to know how field trips and heritage education could contribute to the teaching-learning process of History of Rondônia among high school students from the basic education network. During the dissertation, I observed how much the adopted methodology, the field trip, is capable of contributing, since they are fundamental for the teaching-learning process to occur because they connect them with theory in a way that makes them question it, enabling them to develop a critical and reflective view of history.
