This thesis aims to understand the multiple and contradictory spatialities of corporate citadel of Santo Antônio, in the downtown area of Rio de Janeiro. This spatial area covers Avenues República do Chile and República do Paraguai, named, by common sense, esplanade of Santo Antônio, and its expansion area towards the new neighborhood of Lapa. The analysis of its spatiality leads us to the notion of citadel, i.e., an area produced and controlled by large corporations which, by means of physical barriers, seeks to hinder the access of undesirables. The research is grounded in a theoretical proposal for rebalancing spatiality, temporality and society, which Edward Soja called Spatial Turn. From the regressive-progressive method proposed by Henri Lefebvre, we search, in the past, for keys to the understanding of contemporary spatialities, built through the dialectical relationship between producing agents of urban space. Although the current expansion of financial capital coupled with the conflicting interests of the public authorities produce new spatial expressions such as office towers, this process does not occur without resistance, which reaffirms the role of spatiality in the production of urban space
