Vitoria, Port city in Espírito Santo, Brazil.

Vitoria extends across one main island and 34 smaller islands, connected by bridges and featuring extensive coastal areas along the Atlantic Ocean.

The settlement relocated from Vila Velha to its current location in 1551 due to frequent attacks from indigenous groups and foreign invaders.

The Federal University of Espírito Santo, established in 1961, contributes to the education sector through research programs and academic initiatives.

The Port of Tubarão and Port of Vitória form Brazil's largest port complex, processing international shipments of iron ore, steel, and coffee.

The city underwent substantial geographic transformation through landfill projects, reducing its original count of 50 islands to the current 35.
