The present study aims to reflect on the contributions of the memory narratives of ex-inmates at the Hospital Colônia de Marituba/PA, from 1940 to 1970; memories of a lived time that allow to enter the cultural universe of this institution. In the form of a total institution, the City Hospital housed hundreds of lives for the treatment of leprosy. We used as materials for the construction of this analysis interviews with ex-interns of the institution, images about the institution and newspapers. Narratives appear as a form of teaching, which combined with iconographies, texts and testimonies, become important sources of evidence. We used as a theoretical contribution the authors: Bresciani and Naxara (2004), Bosi (1998), Burke (2017), Goffman (1994), Halbwachs (2003), Meihy and Holanda (1997). The narratives and images point to life experiences of the leprosy, a group that has been silenced by brazilian history. Marituba is revealed by agile memories and tired feet that still leave marks on the stones of the city.
