| description | The objective of this paper is to present a view of the geodiversity of the Historical Center of João Pessoa, located in Mata da Aldeia chart (scale 1:25.000), Paraíba State, northern Brazil, in order to insert sites in urban geotouristic routes. For this, a mapping of this geodiversity and its geoheritage was carried out through the inventory of sites with relevant value. Geologically, the chart is part of a sedimentary basin that developed on a faulted crystalline basement, whose Plio-Pleistocene reactivation resulted in a stepped substrate, and the terrain has geotouristic potential from the point of view of its geoheritage. It was necessary a detailed study of the geoscientific and historic literature of the area and a detailed field work, having a look about the physical substrate reflecting the importance of this as a heritage element of space. Tambiá fountain, Trincheiras fossil, Ireres doline, Stone Square, Santo Antônio fountain, Miracles fountain and Sanhauá fault were identified as geotouristic sites. It is therefore pertinent to interconnect this urban heritage to tourism in the area, so that more motivation arouses the interest of tourists, now turned to the bias of the lithosphere and hydrosphere.
