Fonte da Rampa do Mercado, Public monument at Praça Cairú in Salvador, Brazil

The Fonte da Rampa do Mercado is a modern monument made of fiberglass and metal that rises at Praça Cairú. The structure fills the gap between traffic routes and the historic market ramp, shaping the character of the square.

The fountain was commissioned by mayor Antônio Carlos Magalhães and created by artist Mário Cravo, who designed a fiberglass structure about twelve meters tall. It was inaugurated on 13 January 1970 at Praça Visconde de Cairu. In 2002 it was listed by the Instituto do Patrimônio Artístico e Cultural da Bahia (IPAC). A fire destroyed it on 21 December 2019, leaving only its metal supports; after restoration it was reinaugurated on 11 January 2023.

The fountain's name references the market ramp and the trading post that once anchored public life in this area. This location holds meaning for locals as a gathering point between the bustling port district and the old city center.

The monument sits near the Lacerda Elevator and Model Market in a central, easy-to-reach location. A protected zone roughly 200 meters around the structure helps preserve this historic site.

The 2019 fire left only the metal armature that supported the fiberglass, and the restored work was reinaugurated on 11 January 2023, three days before the anniversary of the original 1970 opening. The sculptor was Mário Cravo, and the piece was commissioned by mayor Antônio Carlos Magalhães.
