Vitória

Tucked between the Atlantic coast and Vitória Bay in Espírito Santo, Vitória is a place whose character is shaped by its island setting, tidal waterways and granite hills. Brazil’s smallest state capital occupies Vitória Island and extends onto the mainland, where bridges make the bay part of everyday movement through the city. The historic centre preserves Palácio Anchieta, the state government’s seat, on the site of a Jesuit college founded in the 16th century. Beaches, port facilities and high-rise districts share the shoreline, while Vila Velha faces Vitória across the bay.
