The term 'historical section' is widely used in Brazil and Portugal to refer to museum exhibits, city districts like Rio's Centro Histórico, and heritage preservation areas. In the USA, similar areas are often called 'historic districts' (legally designated) or 'old town' areas. Brazilian institutions emphasize cultural patrimony and preservation of colonial architecture, while American usage tends to be more legally formalized through the National Register of Historic Places.
