    This research project is based on the study of heritage buildings in the city of Salcedo and on the importance of the efficiency of existing resources through resignifications, which are carried out in architecture with the aim of recovering the functional qualities of the property, granting a new meaning to the use of a building. The resignification supposes the revaluation of the architectural elements of the built component by the society, since it implies rehabilitating the commercial, social, structural and habitable potential, according to a proposal that is pertinent to the needs of the context. The impact of the research lies in a contribution to the dissemination of the living culture of the city of Salcedo, according to an interior design proposal, which renews the cycle of use of the local resources, the efficient management of the built heritage and the increase in economic opportunities in the city of Salcedo, supported by the analysis of the context and user to determine functionalities that promote the symbols and values of the city. The applied methodology is exploratory, descriptive and explanatory level, supported by the collection of mixed data on the relationship of the building with the operation of the territory through surveys and observation, in addition, the experience of professionals on similar cases is analyzed, where Criteria were applied on the resignification of the heritage built for tourist-cultural purposes. As a result, it can be said that the reuse of the Salcedo canton railway station is viable, with the motive of reappropriation of the local heritage for tourist-cultural purposes.
