Caramuru Viaduct, Neoclassical viaduct in Cidade Alta, Vitoria, Brazil
The Caramuru Viaduct stretches 34 meters across the urban landscape, connecting Rua Dom Fernando and Rua Francisco Araújo above Rua Caramuru in Vitoria.
The construction of this transportation infrastructure in 1925 marked a significant period of urban development during the administration of Florentino Avidos.
The viaduct received its name from the Caramurus, members of the Brotherhood of Saint Benedict who gathered at the nearby Franciscan Convent of Espírito Santo.
The structure functions as an essential overpass in the city center, providing a direct route between different elevations while maintaining traffic flow beneath.
Despite initial plans to incorporate a tram system, the viaduct never supported rail traffic due to structural limitations and insufficient access curves.
